Default Discovered: A 1909 Article Describing the T206 Craze

Posted By: robert a

Scot,

This is an amazing little article. I knew zeenuts were played with and thrown around with the winner taking all, but not t206. Also neat that it mentions Hans Wagner. Wonder how many kids were disappointed after not receiving one of his cards? I always figured men who smoked would give the cards to their son and I'm sure some did if they weren't assaulted by the kids waiting at the cigar stand. Looks like kids were able to buy the cigs too.

Thanks for posting it.

Rob
