Barry,

Let me also note that, like today, tobacco was a big business back then. The founder, Eben Goodwin, amassed a fortune. He died in 1871 and left the business to his nephew, obviously much younger. It is not unlikely that the nephew, and those who worked as managers beneath him and enjoyed large salaries, were from the aristocratic, well-educated class.

Wow, I finally get it. It was Eben Goodwin's nephew and his aristocratic upper management cronies responsible for this riddle meant as a slight toward Deacon Whites non existent downfall, as well as poetic praise toward him being the beloved son of God, oh, and also a slur toward his non-Irish decent.

Also, no need for your cryptic insults toward the intelligence of board members who don't agree with you. We already know you're the riddle master.

Lastly, all of what you posted is possible. Some of it seems probable. The big turn off for me is the definitive statements being made about what some unknown person was thinking 120 years ago.

I like it when people toss a decent theory out there because it seems to get the investigative part of people going. Most of the time, especially with century + old cards, there's very limited information. Tossing ideas and theories out there may help us stumble upon the right answer.

It reminds me of the T202 Joe Jackson sliding thread. Now, I know many still may not believe it's him, but I sure am convinced; thanks to some very good and thorough researching by various board members, along with a great theory by the OP.

I can't say much about this card, I don't know enough about these cards to comment, but I love these types of threads

Sincerely, Clayton
