Gambling, Stealing, Killing and Other Pernicious Effects of Baseball Card Collecting
1 Attachment(s)
I am researching stuff pertaining to baseball all of the time - I often think to myself, the folks on Net54 would appreciate this or enjoy reading this - but then I quickly move on or I save the article for later "I will post it some other time".:)
I hope you folks enjoy these articles, as they touch on subjects such as Buying, Selling, Gambling, Stealing, Murder etc. with baseball cards or baseball photos being the common theme. All are from either 1910 or 1911. Or if you get bored - now you have some random baseball stuff to read :D |

I love this one... And this is my last article for today, hope I have not offended anyone with these...
|
These are fantastic...they certainly point out what a gigantic craze the T206 cards were during their day (to the extent of murder and causing girls to run away from home), as well as why so many of the darned things are still around to this day. Thanks for posting. It is great to see them all in one place.

so there was mention of honus wagner...likely referring to t206...they were around!!!
|
Absolutely great. Thanks so much for posting and doing all the research.
|
These give us a rare glimpse of the life of a baseball card collector when T206 cards could be found at the local store. Great (and unique) research. Thanks for sharing!
|
Really enjoyed reading this post......thanks !!!!!
|
Well...

I have more I will post and please feel free to add more articles if anyone has anything they would like to add. |
excellent post! Thanks for sharing. I concur with Leon. I was thinking these were the types of things happening today to attain these coveted cards we so enjoy! I had no idea that this sort of corrupt and dubious behavior occurred over a century ago for these very same cardboard treasures!

Kids
Must have been hard for kids to get these cards unless some family or friend member purchased the packs to smoke or had tons of money to buy a single card.
People that smoked where no even interested in the cards but the kids wanted them. |
