Bill CornellThanks for the kind words, Scott. My journalism career will probably begin and end with this article, but it's gratifying to see it in print.
As a postscript: the current Mastro lot #1274 has 2 1913 Fatima advertising pieces, one of which contains the same photos of Demaree, Houck, and Brown that were used in the T222 set in slightly altered form. The accompanying photos of Matty, Plank and Joe Jackson (lot #1278) were inexplicably left out of the set - whoever was picking players for the T222's had a perverse sense of talent.
