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 Larry Doyle with his bat, is centered east on the
canvas, while some diamond cutting leaves the top left corner just a hair higher than the right. The bold blue background gives this card tremendous eye appeal, while the crisp edges provide a gorgeous frame. Slightly soft corners 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 42 total
examples of this 1909 E92, with NONE receiving a higher grade than
the EX 5 offered here of Larry Doyle.
