Sen. Russell's collection incl. Doyle error & Ty Cobb back
Posted By: JimB
I would guess that Russell simply did not notice the Doyle. He may never have seen a second one. Since we know he collected circa 1910 and that his collection consists only of cards from that era, I think we can surmise with some certainty that he did not pursue this hobby as an adult. Is there any evidence to the contrary? He may have enjoyed the cards as an adult with nostalgia for his youth. But it does not seem like he was part of the organized hobby in any significant way. To me, it makes perfect sense that he would not notice. It is almost more surprising that the Un.of GA library did notice. They must have called in an expert when they received the gift.
