Does anyone else see the analogy between the ATC and PSA business models?

Very very cool, thanks for posting. I like how they are referred to as "baseball men". That is what the daughters in Field of Dreams calls the players.

Peter, all the ads are in the timeframe of the initial printing so Wagner
wouldn't have been among the available subjects yet.

Here is some interesting information on a couple of the sporting life ads.

Brian, your image isn't showing up on my computer for some reason.

The clip that jerrys posted mentions both Cobb and Wagner being desired but only mentions a few Cobb cards being found. I would guess in the first clip the person didn't know that Wagner was in the set. I believe the first publicized Wagner wasn't until 1930. I have never seen anything before that, so most people probably didn't know the card even existed.
