It's refreshing to read that 10 year kids were just as excited to acquire BB cards 100 years ago....as we were
in the late 1940's....'50s....'60s....'70s....'80's, and early '90s. I don't know if this has been true since the late
1990s (due to the high price of BB card packs, since).
Also, the 10 year old's enterprising actions of spending their nickles to buy a pack of Piedmont's, remove the
T206 card and then sell the cigarettes for a profit so they could buy more Piedmont packs.
Reminds me of us kids getting empty soda bottles and redeeming them for nickles to buy BOWMAN, LEAF, and
TOPPS BB card packs....back in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
