+1!

Thanks so much Tom. Ive been collecting bb cards for decades but only recently got into autographs, so I appreciate the context for this area of our hobby.

Just thought of a question actually...did getting baseball cards signed play a role? Or was the goal securing the autograph via whatever method was easiest/worked? Any insight into the use of bb cards by these early collectors would be great to hear.

Thanks again Tom.
