Default 5 Card Find

Hi JimB

I recall that they were found not in an album, but loose in the pages of a book (I know I am splitting hairs). The gentlemen that presented the find to REA was from Georgia and the book had been in the family (always lived in Georgia).

And if I remember correctly, the book was a first edition, printed in March, 1910 and the cards were placed in the book ever since they were acquired in a tin of Ty Cobb Tobacco. I would have mentioned this information earlier, but I thought everyone knew this! (just kidding)
