Incredible Scot, thanks for sharing. It's cool to think that just maybe a card in my collection, at one time, was flipped in the air by a kid trying to win it for his collection. In my case the card was then stepped on, picked up, folded and placed in pocket, but still a cool thought. |

Interesting that the author noted that kids went after the pictures of Ty Cobb and Hans Wagner. What made him think that Hans Wagner even existed, since it is unlikely he ever saw one. |

sumptin Ted. I thought they were buying the packs for a nickle - removing the cards - and selling the packs at a DISCOUNT of 2 or more packs for a nickle. I think they were actually in effect "buying" the cards not the smokes - like buying the cards and throwing away the gum........ |

They used to have a cigarette machine at the Safeway down the street from my parents' house, so one day when I was 8, I bought a pack of Marlboros and smoked half of it in the bathtub while reading MAD magazine and ashing into a dixie cup. Not well received by my folks. |

Fantastic article. I was hoping the closing would reference the 19th century baseball "pictures". Interesting how the knowledge of Ty Cobb cards at a particular location helped them sell more product. |

I think the origin of the term was that "fry" means "small fish." This led to the term "small fry," which was used as a sort of endearing term for young boys. I do not think "small fry" was typically appled to girls. I think the writer of the 1909 article was trying to be cute by using "frying-sized kid." I do not think he was a Jeffrey Dahmer type. |
