I cannot believe that no one has pounced on the "bigger story" presented here. We have a "King-Kong" size gorilla in this story......
and, that is....did a young Richard Russell in 1910 found a Joe Doyle error card in his Dad's Piedmont cigarette packs ?

If this is so, then why wasn't Burdick, or Carter, or other hobby greats aware of this card ? Russell was a well known public figure.
And, even if Russell did not get his Doyle in 1910, when did he acquire this card ?

He passed away in 1971....a full decade before Larry Fritsch and Bill Huggins brought this rare card to the forefront.

Come on guys, let's talk this up....this is real "heavy stuff"....this is the stuff that (BB card) dreams are made of ? ?
