Totally agree. And by the looks of his collection he really liked well centered cards. It would have been awesome to chat with Earl about his collection.

Nice story. How cool would it have been to be the ORIGINAL owner of these cards? Would have loved to have sat down with a tape recorder with this man and relived those old tobacco days...

Man that's a great story Leon! Having pictures to put a face with the collector just makes it that much more interesting. He certainly had a eye for nice cards. Thanks for sharing.
