The very scarce New England regional U.S. Caramel series featured 32 "Famous Athletes", mainly baseball players. The multi-sport issue is considerably rarer than Goudeys and most other 1930s sets, and has long been recognized as among the most desirable issues of the era. Offered is a sharp example of one of the keys to the series. Cobb’s image is set against a bold red background, surrounded by even white borders. The corners are exceptionally sharp, exceeding PSA’s stringent standards for their NM-MT 8 designation. This is one of only eleven examples graded at this tier with three higher.
