None of these qualify 100% as articles about card collecting. However, I thought their age made them worth sharing here. The first is quite tragic, unfortunately.
1. August 25, 1910, Boston Globe. This is likely the first recorded death by baseball card. 8-25-10.jpg 2. November 8, 1896, Boston Globe. Part of a "random notes" sort of column is dedicated to an early super-collector. 11-8-96.JPG 3. And the OLDEST thing I could find is debatable as there isn't enough context to state for certain that these are the same cards guys like us collect. However, the size and shape makes me think YES. This is an illustration from an article on things to do for fun in the springtime. April 8, 1894, Boston Globe. 4-8-94.jpg
