Collectors Just Discovering T210

I got interested in the Series 6 cards when I discoverd the Frankfort team( my former hometown) I was researching the history of the team after I discovered an old newspaper story about the 1910 Frankfort Lawmakers and saw the T210 Hoffman card which depicted him in a Frankfort jersey --just started collecting after that --and since the other teams in the Bluegrass League were frequently mentioned in the newspaper stories of the time it made it even more interesting to collect the Frankfort opponents as well. I will still come across interesting stories from the papers 1908-1912 and can go back and look at the cards and see the faces of the players plus there is a very active historical society in Frankfort and I am able to consult with them and have on occassion been able to help someone doing family research on a ballplayer.The cards just add a wonderful visual element to the research.
