Former Georgia Senator Richard B. Russell collected most of his enormous (1000+) T-cards as a teenager during 1909-1911.
This collection is fully documented where it is on display at the University of Georgia (Athens, GA).

Russell's set is one of the very few in the BB card hobby that can boast having the 2 most scarcest 20th Century BB cards.
The T206 Doyle error and the Red Ty Cobb with the Ty Cobb back. His T206 set consists of 500+ cards and his T210 set is
near complete.

Can we say that Richard Russell is the "first documented Card Collector" ?

Or, perhaps Connie Mack, who collected American Caramel cards in 1908-1912 ? ?
