Thanks David...this certainly spells out how kids could work all the angles to gather up cards that were issued with tobacco products. Too bad Burdick couldn't have stapled another sheet so that the missing information could now be residing in our greedy little minds.

Thank you David, I always enjoy the early references and these are new to me. I particularly like Sturtevant's memories of collecting during the 1880s at various locations with various in-roads to the goods.

"My joy knew no bounds." Just imagine getting pack fresh cards in 1888. I'd be joyful too. Great read, David.

Even in the 19th Century cards were getting destroyed by accident ...... and it sounds like the guy never really got over it. Kind of like the old "my mom threw out my baseball cards" story........sigh.......
