When you start getting into the deadball era and Negro leagues the definition of "card" comes into play. Does a postcard count? Does it have to be a mass-produced card issued with candy, food or tobacco?

Just about all of the players may have appeared on some kind of card but there are probably dozens for whom a signed card (genuine) simply does not exist. And what about executives, writers and broadcasters in the Hall?

Card collectors, I think, tend to be "set" focused, whereas autograph collectors don't usually think that way.
