JimBI came across a website set up by the University of Georgia for an exhibition of Senator Richard Russel's (died 1971) tobacco card collection which included an almost complete set of T206s (minus Wagner and Plank), T210s, T205s, etc. The two big highlights are a T206 Cobb/Cobb back and a Doyle N.Y. Nat'l. Does anybody know if this collection has been known for a long time or if these are new discoveries to the hobby. I believe they are now part of the University of Georgia's library holdings, but there will be a public exhibition this Winter. Wish I lived in Georgia now.
