Default Writing on Cards

Every once in a while I stumble upon writing on cards and it reminds me that at one time vintage baseball cards were nothing more than mementos and there was no monetary value attached to these cards....Certaintly kids during the 50s 60s were not considering what their cards would "pop" if submitted to a TPG...Here is one that I just saw...Anyone else come across writing on a card that shows how the hobby once was? What kinds of writing were kids doing on cards during this time? I've seen facial hair and as below usually a note about a player being traded...Anything else? Thanks for sharing as a collector starting in the 80s writing on cards was not part of my experience.
