The Birth of Card Collecting, an article I submitted to SCD
was published in the March 18, 2016 edition; emphasis is on the first major league baseball cards. For those who do not subscribe to the magazine, the article has been added to the Sports Collectors Digest Website.

With All Sincerity...
"Thank You" Mr. Spellman!
Jerry, This was So Interesting ta me, Honestly! I'm not really a 19th Century Card kinda of guy. However, Articles such as this one, the one that You wrote, brings me Closer ta becoming one. There are very few 19th century card issues that I am even remotely interested in. This was an Excellent history read and I'm sure I will reference and Re~Read many times! By Chance, Do You have a Picture or Possibly a Scan of Your "Butterfly Lady"!? The one You mention here in Your Article: "At an antique show, I purchased and opened a W.S. Kimball & Co. high grade cigarette pack; the insert card pictured a beautiful woman with butterfly wings. That N183 card was not my hope." I would Love a See what "You weren't Hoping for". Opening a Pack from the 19th Century Musta been Such a Thrill! Did You have Her Graded? Thanks in Advance for All Your Time & Effort Sir... Gentleman Such as Yourself, Make Our Hobby an Incredible World!!!

If you look close you will see the women names are (Greek? can anyone id the nationality). So this pack was destine for export. The High Grade cigarette pack was left complete; it was consigned to a 2012 Bill Goodwin Auction. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Referred to in the article - this is one of the three: As stated on the SGC label. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As shown in the article - W S Kimball inserted N184 cards (also N183s) in the High Grade packs - the James O'Neil card shown is one the four ball players in this set. The others are: Burch, Darling, and Henderson. A mint card of anyone of these would be gold. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BTW this article was submitted to SCD September, 2014. Tobacco era has low priority with SCD - unlike the old days.
