Lot # 167: 1909 E92 Dockman & Sons Collection (17) Including Joe Tinker and John McGraw

Collection of seventeen different cards from the E92 Dockman & Sons caramel-card set, highlighted by Hall of Famers John McGraw and Joe Tinker. E92 Dockman & Sons is a very scarce caramel issue from 1909 that shares designs with several other closely related candy issues (Croft's Candy, Nadja Caramels, etc.) from the same era. This collection consists of the following: Bemis (trimmed bottom edge, otherwise Gd+), Donovan (slight trim, otherwise Pr), Doolan (trimmed, otherwise Vg-Ex), Dougherty (Pr), Doyle/throwing (Pr), Doyle/with bat (Pr), Gibson (Pr-Fr, Lobert (trimmed, otherwise Vg-Ex), Magee (Gd), McGraw (Fr-Gd, HOF), McLean (Fr), Miller (Pr), O'Hara (trimmed, otherwise Fr), Shean (trimmed, otherwise Vg), Schmidt (pencil mark on reverse, otherwise Vg), Smith (trimmed, otherwise Vg+), and Tinker (trimmed, otherwise Vg+, HOF). Caramel cards, because they were issued with candy, one card per package, did not easily escape damage or hold up well to wear over the years. A very presentable lower-grade group of seventeen cards from one of the most popular, elusive, and colorful of all “E” card issues. Total: 17 cards.
