Dan, that set looks great! JW Porter is still alive and signs TTM; PM me if you'd like his address.
That's an interesting article. My other theory was that fans in 1910 might have had difficulty tracking down addresses for the minor league teams, and home addresses for the players. Without the internet, Smalling's/Meiselman's address lists, and networks like autograph collectors clubs, sending out autograph requests must've been a real chore.
