This really must be the birth of our hobby. I mean think about it. The T206 Wagner mystique most assuredly has its genesis with these boys in 1909.
How many of these young collectors, in the next generation, were responsible, as adults, for the marketing of candy, bubble gum, or even in vending machines? Perhaps the mania, and the ensuing search of the elusive card led to the missing Lajoie card in the 1933 Goudey set, or the skip numbers of the 1948 Leaf set. Yeah, I know that baseball cards started in the 1880's, but an argument could be made that the hobby, as we know it, started in 1909.
