Another note from Golden to John Wagner, dated April 27, 1937 (2 yrs before the first iteration of the ACC)...
Pre-internet and pre catalog it doesn't seem like there were a ton of collectors or at least ones that JR Burdick had on his list. "While we know of some 25 card collectors, according to Mr. Burdick's bulletin..." - Edward Golden .

These hobby correspondence are some of the neatest items to me. So scarce and relevent (historically speaking)..
Noyes doesn't like T206 either, before they were given that ACC number (or any number).....

What a pleasure, Leon. You read the cordial correspondence of these old gents and then look at that "BST screw over" fustercluck and you wonder where it all went wrong.

He said maybe 25 collectors . They could have had a few cards between them .

"I agree that 50 cents is much too steep for any one card - you'll hear from me if I ever find Anson"
Imagine his reaction to Anson's price tag today! Thanks for sharing these Leon. Very neat to read! |

I've posted this grouping a few times, but it seems most appropriate in this thread. Not only was Wagner a great card collector, but he was an enterprising signed T206 collector, way ahead of his time!
