Getting Nostalgic about Cigarette Cards...64 Years Ago!

Interesting about the missing kid, I wonder if he was ever recovered? But yeah, this is really pretty neat.

I searched for his name in the archives but nothing more appears. Sad story, hopefully it somehow had a happy ending and the kid lived a long life. People complain all the time how society is getting worse, but when you read this story (and others from the early part of the century), it sometimes puts some of the old attitudes and indifferences in perspective (especially towards the poor). Yes, societies morals are different today, but in any era, a certain percentage of humans have always been bad to the core.

Lovely Day...

Nice story; thanks for posting. I have always loved the T-218 set and all of its various athletes, so it's nice to see so many cards from that set pictured.
