Default Origins of collecting - how was it done back then?

Posted By: Bill Stone

Speaking of T210's has anyone done any research on the distribution of these cards? I would assume from a marketing approach it would have made sense to have the Blue Grass League cards (Series 6)placed in packs of Old Mill cigarettes to be sold in Kentucky. What factory would have placed them in the packages and would they have been shipped to a Kentucky distribution point? In my research I have seen several Old Mill ads from 1910 in the Frankfort, Kentucky newspapers but they only indicate that base ball cards are included but don't indicate the league.
