Default Really Cool- Letters from Tobacco Card Collectors in 1910!

People on the board are always speculating about how people treated cards (throwing them out, etc.), but these letters offer a different perspective. These are two letters between "pen pals" from 1910-1911 and in the letters they discuss their "tobacco card" collections. They even exchanged cards, and I have one of the cards they exchanged, which was still in the original envelope with the letter. Pretty cool to see that there were even older collectors when the cards were first issued! Let me know what you guys think!
