Topps including dogs within Allen & Ginter is a bit controversial to collectors who just joined the hobby a few years ago.

Dogs were a pretty common Tobbaco card subject in the late 1800s and early 1900s, so nothing new here. I've included a picture of a bloodhound featured in the 1890 Allen & Ginter Quadrupeds (N21) set.

Some of these dog and animal cards fetch a good chunk of change in high grades due to set builders.

What subject matter do you want to see in Ginter next? IMO they should revisit famous Generals or Presidents.

I recently had an opportunity to purchase a real photo postcard that I think is Patton's first card. As this was super early in his Military career, Patton wasn't even listed on the card.

I found the original image in the El Paso Morning Times: Aug. 26, 1914: Warm Welcome by General Pershing For Villa and Obregon in El Paso. Attached also are the names of all the famous people in the photo/card.

This predates his 1950 Topps Freedom War by 36 years and the US involvement in WW1 by 3 years.
