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.

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.......
