Just a few more.
Washington DC seemed to have a lot of action. A barber was offering baseball cards to kids when they got a haircut (Wash Post 22 July 1909); someone was selling 200 cards for $1.00 (Wash Post 14 April 1910) and a dealer was advertising cards for sale (Wash Post 30 Oct 1910). The dealer had a want ad in the paper weekly for months.
And finally, a Florida distributor was advertising a large shipment of cigarettes which included one coupon and two pictures (Tampa Tribune, 18 August 1909.) I would spend my almost complete Morgan Dollar collection if I could go back in time and buy these cards.
