1917 Collins-McCarthy (E135)

A 200-card black-and-white candy issue from San Francisco's Collins-McCarthy Candy Company, sold under the "Baseball's Hall of Fame" banner years before Cooperstown existed. The cards came with candy rather than as sets, were printed on thin stock, and are scarce today. The 1917 date places Jackson in his White Sox prime, two seasons before the 1919 Series.
