After reading Al's wonderful post, I looked up Ernest & William Born on Ancestry.com. The boys, according to the 1910 census, were 5 and 3 that year. That means that the boys likely were getting the cards from their father, at least at the start. My dad gave me his 59 Topps when I was a boy to get me started, and it looks like maybe the Born boys' father did the same.
