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.

Green-background card of second baseman Pearl Casey, graded GOOD 2 by PSA.  Card exhibits visible surface wear, including a single wrinkle that runs horizontally across the center of the card.  Surface soiling is visible on the reverse, along with a red mark that somehow escaped the grader's qualifier.  Still, the issue is rare enough that condition is virtually irrelevant, as this is the highest-graded of just three Pearl Caseys assessed by PSA.
