Joe P. is not a Chicano.
We repeat, not a Chicano.
Nothing personal against any undeniably outstanding Chicano's on this board, but let's get the geography and colloquialism straighten out.
Joe P. is a NYC/Puerto Rican/Cuban from the streets of the old Spanish Harlem Barrio in Manhattan, that's just trying to get along.
I guarantee you that the area was not the Federal Reserve of NYC or the US, but it was wealthy in the need of getting to know the territory, and the territories around them.
It's where I learned to flip 1941 Play Ball's.
At ten years old, I didn't know that tobacco cards existed, they would have been interesting to flip.
So much for genealogy.
Interesting exchange and pictures by the Joe G./Julie duo.

In my OJ collection, I only own one Detroiter.
An 1887 Twitchell #0489
Does that make me a Detroit collector?
