About to out an auction here but since its bin and a pretty high price i think it should be ok....

So not talking about cabnets, harpers or tin types, does anyone have info on the oldest cards?
"Oldest Baseball Card" is sort of a subjective phrase. Kind of like the "what is his rookie card" question for many HOF'ers. The Peck and Snyder Trade card has usually been considered the first major league baseball card, but that is debatable.
