Very interesting article. Can you imagine a shoebox full of old tobacco cards? I couldn't find in referance to R.P. Stewart's collection in the MLB Hall of Fame. Google came up empty too. Anyone know what happened to the collection? Is it still in the Hall? ------------------------------- My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny. -- Chad --

LOL at this article. Apparently, this hobby has been a passing fad for over a century now. ------------------------------- It's Jimmy!

Nice article. Even some adults collect! And the other featured article makes me want to redouble my efforts to get a 40s Lou Boudreau card. V3
