Cool article, and it provides a good account of the flipping/gambling aspect that helped damage our T206 cards.
With the kids reselling the 5 cent pack of Piedmont cigarettes for between 1 and 2.5 cents apiece without the cards, I guess that effectively made the market value of the T206 cards on the street to be around 2 to 4 cents apiece. Brian

The fact that the reporter actually reported how many Cobbs were found in the last batch of cigarettes at that store makes you wonder if he was also a collector.

Found this 1910-1911 photo with a few T206 & T205s in the background, nice little collection.

Fantastic read. I note there is no mention of a Wagner card being found.
