Item Description
1.5x2.75". The 1909 E92 set actually contains four different releases representing Croft's Candy, Croft's Cocoa, Dockman and Sons, and Nadja Caramels. The E92 Nadja Caramels set had the biggest checklist with 62 players. Both Croft's Candy and Croft's Cocoa included 50 players, while Dockman included the fewest with 40. Each company/product had their own advertising back. The sets have numerous big names but Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Cy Young are considered the headliners. Croft's Candy backs are not all that common, but when you do see them, chances are they will be printed in black ink. Ones printed in blue and red bring a premium and it should be noted that of all of the different back variations, the red Croft Candy cards are likely the toughest of all.
William Aloysius Bergen was an American professional baseball catcher. He played eleven seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1901 to 1911 for the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Superbas/Dodgers. He was one of the worst-hitting position players in the history of the Major Leagues, but was also one of the best defensive catchers of all time. A dubious statistic for sure is his -6.9 career WAR (according to Baseball Reference), which is the second worst among every MLB position player in history.
