Combining my observations (and acquisitions), and further research of the T-cards in Russell's collection....
it appears to me that he stopped collecting cards in the Fall of 1911. In fact the bulk of his collection was
acquired between 1910 and 1911. And, it was at the "expense" of his smoking at a very young age (13-14
years old).

So, my friend.....assuming that he acquired his TY COBB/Ty Cobb card during this period (and there appears
to be a high likelihood that he did)....then this collection is the 1st to establish a timeline on this unique and
mysterious card.
I am continuing with further research on this collection; and, hope to be able to provide more insight into it,
in the near future.
