Being a newer collecter to preWWI and pretty much only collecting Chief Bender every card I get is pretty much an issue I have never heard of or really even knew was out there. Of course the history of the game and how it really hasn't changed all that much is also very facinating. It is also entertainment and does bring one back to a simpler time where we only think of the good times and peaceful kodak moments, forgetting that women had no rights, minoritys were pretty much banned from the game, pollution was at an all time high, child labor was widespread,ect ect. We like to think things were different but really they were just as messed up as today. It's like dreaming of the Roman days and all the great buildings but forgetting that most people lived in shacks and went to the bathroom in a pail and when finished just threw it out in the streets.
