Has anyone ever seen a reference by a ballplayer to being depicted on a baseball card. I am especially interested in the period 1908-1912. It seems to me that somewhere, in correspondence, scrapbooks, post cards or interviews a player would have commented on being pictured on a baseball card.
Human nature would tell me that if a player knew he was on a card he would want to collect it or at least see it and send
it home or to his sweetheart. Any thoughts?
