I recently came across a very interesting legal case, Porter v. American Tobacco Company (1910), that, for me, shed some light on how and why players were included (or not included) in the T206 and other vintage tobacco issues and also on the famous Neal Ball letter that was once part of Barry Halper's collection.

The Ball letter is dated February 1909, while this court decision occurred November 1910. So how is it possible that the new law referenced in the Ball letter can be this court decision? |

Brian P., true but the citation for the law in the case text dates the law's codification to 1909. Additionally, Ball played for the New York Highlanders and Bulger wrote for the New York Evening World, so when he says "here" it had always struck me that he meant New York. |

Isnt the 1910 date of the Court case on appeal? If so, when the original Law Suit was filed might be interesting. |

Unless the ACC got consents with exclusive rights contracts, there is no basis (standing) to threaten anything against the ATC. Additionally, unless the ACC got consent from the players, it would be just as guilty of breaking the cited law as the ATC. |
