opening vintage packs

I've seen those Garter cards before;beautiful.
COnsidering I'm a student of baseball history (I've got more baseball history books;such as Whos Who from 20s to the present and old encyclopedias than I can shake a stick at...I gobble this stuff up),I wish I had begun collecting early-century cards rather than 50s stuff,back when I began collecting in earnest in the early 80s. Hey,you have to start somewhere,right? I find myself now drawn to turn of the century items,especially Rucker items. I recently found out my uncle Robert Rucker (who I was named for) has Nap's actual last-year cap;he's had it for 40 years and is in his 80s himself now.He knows of my collecting fervor....but I don't have ther nerve to ask for the cap as I'd come off as greedy.
***Your collection inspires me,Leon. .....That beautiful,1880s unopened ciggy pack you have has piqued my interest for a long time...surprised noone has purchased it yet
Thanks for a great site.
