My 2 teenage Daughters started collecting BB cards in the 1970's. I credit them for getting me to start collecting Sports cards in 1977. We went to my parent's house and found in the attic a "treasure chest" of all the cards from my youth. BOWMAN's, LEAF's, TOPPS's, etc. from 1947 - 1952. From 1977 to 1981, I concentrated on completing those sets. Then in 1981, I attended my first major Show at Willow Grove, and a whole new world of collecting was opened to me....pre-war cards. Thanks, TED Z T206 Reference . |

Thanks Ricky. I hope a lot of others are enjoying it as well, and will eventually chime in with their own stories and info. That is the nice thing about a thread like this, virtually everyone can contribute to it, and there are no wrong answers. LOL Take care.

Great list and info, and some really obscure names on there. That must have taken some real detective work and time to put together. Do have a question for you though, why isn't Earle "Greasy" Neale also on the list? Played in eight seasons with the Reds from 1916 to 1924 (plus 22 games with the Phillies in 1921), and pro football with the Canton Bulldogs in 1917 (alongside Jim Thorpe), the Dayton Triangles in 1918 (and was also their coach), and finally with the Massilon Tigers in 1919? At first I thought maybe it was because he only played on some pre-NFL teams so you didn't count that. Then I noticed your list also included Ed Abbaticchio whose football playing days ended in 1900, so I ifigured that wasn't it. I seem to remember hearing somewhere that he may have been playing pro football under an assumed name because of amatuer rules that existed back then, and wondered if that may have something to do with it. Have to believe that if you do add him on to your list that he'd end up having more baseball cards than anyone else on it. Curious to find out why he's missing.

Can't leave Greasy Neale off the list as he is one of my favorite pre-NFL pros. Here are the cards I have of him so far. Also this great basketball image of him from a composite team item I have from his college days. jeff |

Hi Ron I really appreciate your kind words. And, thank you for the reciprocal exchange which the both of us have had over the years regarding tobacco cards. Especially, when you confirmed my mutually-exclusive theory regarding the the latter print runs of the 350/460 Series of the T206 set with your complete run of the 28 subjects of the SWEET CAPORAL 350-460 Factory #30 cards. It's amazing how we can solve a lot of "mysteries" of these tobacco cards on this forum when we share with each other really meaningful information. Take care, my friend. TED Z T206 Reference . |
