Collecting Cards as a Kid in 1889
Wouldn't it have been fun going up to old guys smoking and asking for their Old Judges and Goodwin champions? I do.
Jokes aside I love this card of a kid Demanding for this guy's tobacco card. It's kind of cardception. For those curious it's a N85 Duke and Sons postage stamp card. Titled: Give Us That Card Mister!

I like to imagine every Town and City had a gang of kids roaming around for adults tobacco cards. Explains the US. But who knows maybe the person who's pov is viewing the scene sent the kid to do it for him and paid him. Which he then used to complete his set! We shall never know.

Very cool piece.
Somewhere there are threads with newspaper articles from 1909(ish) talking about all the boys' hysteria for pictures of baseball men and how they would harass smokers for cards, and in some cases, start smoking themselves just to get cards. It appears that boys and baseball cards (and maybe tobacco) have been a thing for over 120 years. That's pretty good momentum for the future
