You're right about the other way around but do you suppose some one back 1909 said, "Let's have some fun, and play with the heads of 2009."

By the way, it's pretty evident that the Crockett card listed for T209-2 doesn't exist. Nobody's ever seen a scan even though it was reported, third hand, in 1987."
