UZIT Connie Mack's BB career spanned 65 major-league seasons as a Player, Manager, team Executive, and Owner. .   In the early 1900's Connie Mack enthusiastically recruited directly from College. Connie Mack's A's roster included the following College educated ballplayers. Connie Mack believed BB players received better training on the College teams rather than the ML Farm system.

Eddie went from Gettysburg directly to the A's in 1901. TED Z T206 Reference .

This is a very interesting thread, going all the way back. Lots of baseball history, not just the cards, but the players themselves.

. .... Sweet Caporal ...... Sovereign ......... Piedmont___The "House" that created these Tobacco cards___American Beauty ... COUPON ...…...... UZIT It is my understanding that Eddie Collins was also an anti-tobacco guy. If so, this may explain why his "150 Series" card was never issued. Here's a reprint of the unique Eddie Collins (with bat) proof card that American Lithographic (ALC) never issued. My theory is Eddie Collins initially did not want his image on a tobacco card.  Subsequently ALC included Eddie Collins in their 350 Series......  I may be proven wrong about this...... anyhow, let's get a conversation going regarding this matter. TED Z T206 Reference .

T206 REFERENCE.....Stamps, BB cards, old Cars, which of them did you collect 1st ?
I have 2 classic Thunderbird's. Here is my 1960 T-Bird (352 cu. inch V8 with 310 Horsepower). I loved these cars when
I was a teenager. I acquired this car 30 years ago. Stay tuned for my older T-Bird.  Like a "true-blue" T206 dude....check-out the T206 on the license plate of this T-Bird  Stamp collecting was my first Hobby. It was a very popular hobby in the 1940's. I mainly concentrated on the U.S. (note the scan of the first two stamps that were issued in 1847). My folks corresponded with their relatives in Greece, so I had a "ton" of Greek stamps. Also, I loved the colorful British Colonial stamps (for example Pitcairn Islands set of 10 stamps).  .    The 1947 World Series inspired me to collect BB cards, starting with 1947 BOND BREAD BB (48) cards). And, my 1st T206 (1981 at the Willow Grove Show).  -------  Show-n-Tell us your HOBBY(s) experience. Were Sports cards first (or girls) ?

Stamps and coins first, at maybe 5 years old? Cards sort of later, one pack in 69, one in 71.. not sure if that really counts. I also collected old bottles and insulators, and lots of other stuff over the years. Always sort of kept doing a bit in stamps and cards.
Didn't get really into any of them in a "serious" way until maybe the late 70's. And it's so very weird that I had T206s before Ted.... Bought my first in late 77, maybe very early 78.
