Jeff -- as it was a 48-49 it was clearly issued before the 50 Bowman. I consider Exhibits to be "cards" although of course they weren't distributed in the same way as Goudey, Bowman, Topps etc. I'm not sure I can define a "card" in any precise way, it's more I guess a subjective judgment on any given item. Finally, I'm not aware of any earlier item that I would consider a "card" but if there is one I would stand corrected and offer a refund to the purchaser if he feels he was misled.
