As they say, it just keeps getting curioser and curioser. Why would anyone, after 1914-15, reissue a baseball card with advertising for a defunct confectioner? Certainly, the Coca-Cola reference in that time frame makes sense, but why Royer at that address if he was no longer in business? And who would just pick that name and address for inclusion on hoax cards as disparate in time frame as Old Judges and Cracker Jacks? How thoroughly odd.
