Lot # 171: 1909 E92 Dockman & Sons Honus Wagner Throwing PSA GOOD 2

Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. The rare Dockman & Sons caramel issue from 1909 shares designs with several other closely related candy issues (Croft's Candy, Nadja Caramels, etc.) from the same era. The offered card of Hall of Famer Honus Wagner (throwing pose) is an attractive example. The card displays vibrant colors, a crisp image, rounded corners, and light staining on the reverse. Caramel cards in general are much rarer than tobacco cards of the era. Because they were issued with caramels one card per package and sold to children (as opposed to being sold with tobacco to adults), they tend to survive in a much lower grade. This is a pleasing example of the legendary Honus Wagner from this rare, early twentieth-century candy issue.
