Dockman & Sons was one of several brands captured in the E92 universe and are difficult
to track down today. Issued in 1909, the illustrations from the set are well-rendered and the cards are quite colorful.
This
example, featuring New York's Art Devlin, is centered just south on the
canvas but the bright red background still gives it lots of eye appeal. Some light surface wear and soiling near the top border keep this card from
grading even higher than it
already has, but this is an extraordinary example seldom seen with this sort of visual appeal.
SGC has only ever graded 36 total
examples of this 1909 E92, with only three receiving a higher grade than
the VG-EX 4 offered here of Art Devlin.
