T209 First Series Research

[Bliggity]

Jason & Zach - thanks for the great information! I know there have been a few threads speculating about Bourquise/Bourquin over the years, but those two clippings are new to me and do seem to provide the missing links. Would be really neat to find that original photo and do a match to his T209-2 card.

This is my favorite pre-war set, and the first pre-war set I completed.

Nice. Love the colors and unique cards in this set.

I came across these newspaper articles related to this set while doing
some research.

This article appeared in the Daily Times (Wilson NC) on May 6 1910

Nice connection to one of the photographers used to take the Series 2 pictures of a couple leagues and multiple teams. Wonder what gems are in the Moose family collection?!?
