e92 Dockman & Sons

[RCMcKenzie]

I should not have included the word "scarcity" as it implies demand. People do not hold e92 Doyle's in families as heirlooms. Yes, Dockman's are readily available, but it is because no one wants to pay a lot of money for an e92 Dockman Doyle, even if only 100 of them exist.

Leon asked for more pre-war discussions, so I thought I'd drum one up. I think it's interesting that only 40 subjects exist, even though the back says 50 are there. That was my main point of the thread. For T215, 100 probably existed, but all were not found. For e92 Dockman, 10 were never printed. Why was that? That was my thought anyway...Rob

The 50 subjects on the back of Dockman cards are definitely a puzzler. There are a few vintage sets that didn't live up to their stated subject promises...right now dangit I can't think of them.

Right now on eBay there are 128 graded E92/Ds and 25 raw. Not quite a scientific analysis, but interesting. Love this set!

1939 Playball promised 250 and delivered 162...trying to think of more.

I remembered another set...Diamond Stars state 240 cards on their backs, and only 108 were issued.
