Great post and information as always David. There always seems to be a T210 tidbit in these. I think it was a more popular set back then amongst collectors than now. So thank you Mr Corson for figuring out the league/series and for all he did for the hobby.

When the newer collector talks about having 300,000 cards, you don't really think much of it since buying in quantity has become so easy. But when you read his listing of the material he had, and especially the quantity of material before 1900, it's amazing. If he spent over $40K in 1957 money for the cards and postcards, he had one hell of a collection of rarities!
