Extremely scarce card from the first of two sets produced by Bishop & Company, a Los Angeles-based candy maker.  The 30-card set contains only players from the Pacific Coast League, with five players from each of the league's six teams.  Each card features a black and white photo of its subject, set against a colored background of either black, blue, green, purple or yellow (the black backgrounds are the most rare).  The 1910 issue can be differentiated from the 1911 due to the lack of company identification on the card reverse.  The cards are extremely scarce today; it is unusual to find even one card from the issue in a hobby auction.  We are thrilled to present the largest grouping of the cards in recent memory, broken into individual lots to encourage type card collectors to fill in a hole in their collections.

Misidentified in our printed catalog as "Bert" Delmas, infielder Del Delmas played six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels of the PCL, part of a 13-season pro career, mostly spent in the PCL.  His card here has been graded POOR 1 by SGC for obvious reasons.  For whatever reason the Delmas card seems to be most "plentiful" among the E99 set, as the only card which SGC has graded in double digits (just 10, so "plentiful" is a relative term).
