I might be mistaken, but I think Todd meant that this Honus action shot was pasted on the front of a card with a Piedmont back.

Love this story. I wish our collections could talk. I wonder where they have been. As a kid in the early 70's flipping cards, I remember how much it would suck to come home from school and have lost cards and how good it felt to come home with a haul.

Must also have been the same for the kid waiting outside the store hoping to get a Cobb or a Matty and getting a Karger or Byrne!

That is a correct interpretation!

This has probably been shown before. 1880's Duke tobacco card illustrating that kids did not wait until 1909 to demand cards from cigarette consumers.

Just a few more.
Washington DC seemed to have a lot of action. A barber was offering baseball cards to kids when they got a haircut (Wash Post 22 July 1909); someone was selling 200 cards for $1.00 (Wash Post 14 April 1910) and a dealer was advertising cards for sale (Wash Post 30 Oct 1910). The dealer had a want ad in the paper weekly for months.
And finally, a Florida distributor was advertising a large shipment of cigarettes which included one coupon and two pictures (Tampa Tribune, 18 August 1909.) I would spend my almost complete Morgan Dollar collection if I could go back in time and buy these cards.

Great stuff, I started a thread back in 2017 with similar articles for those who may have missed it.
