SMR Article - 1909 Dockman & Sons (E92) set

[x2drich2000]

I can't be of much help with the Dockman set, but have been working on a Nadja set for the past few years (have around 40 different at the moment). I've found once you get past the Dockman's, the E92 set gets really quite interesting such as the prevalence of the St. Louis Nadja's, the possible no prints/unconfirmed, blank/Menagerie/Prize Fighter backs.

John, to answer your question about the Cobb, I've seen images of the Blue Crofts, Black Crofts, and Cocoa. Several years ago there was a thread indicating a Nadja existed, but it was a friend of a friend type situation and no image was ever shown. Likewise, I've heard rumor of a Red Croft, but could find no image/auction. I kind of think of both of them the same way as the Tango Eggs Cobb, a bit of a myth, but the Tango Eggs finally did surface.

I am an optimist and think the Cobby's will surface at some point.
And some previous collection E92s....

Hi Kevin, I really enjoy your articles every month. One tiny thing: can you stop referring to cards as "pasteboards"? I think you're the only one in the universe who uses that phrase. Other than that, I'm a big fan.

Thanks for your kind words. You're right about "pasteboards" -- it's lame. I think I picked it over my many years of hobby writing looking for a synonym for "cards." I will break this bad habit. Thanks.
