I have a very hard time seeing how a photograph pasted to a small cardboard backing like a cigarette card is a baseball card, but if the cardboard backing is a bit larger like a CDV then it is not a baseball card.
I would say that whatever the first baseball CDV was would thus be the first baseball card. I don't know of one before the Atlantics CDV but that is very unlikely to be the true first one made. It's probably one that doesn't have a surviving copy today.
