Henry- I believe N167s are the issue that all would agree are baseball cards. I don't think you could get a consensus for anything prior to N167s.

Couldn't the 1886 Hancock Clothing Syracuse Stars cards also be considered the first baseball cards using the definition applied to the N167s?

were those the cards
that were on eBay like 12 or so years ago from a Syracuse area seller? The guy had no idea what they were but he and his wife didn't leave their computer for a week while the auction was going and the bids kept rolling in. If not - ooops.
Now going to look up that set as my baseball life mostly behind me and I'm unfamiliar with the issue or a backstory. Thanks for that.

was easy to find the Hancock
pretty sure FeeBay's where the cards came from. Few observations (?) - Wonder how was the date determined. They were regional. Unknown means of distribution. They're trade cards.

as I understand it
in the 1880's a notable figure's cabinet photo could generally be secured from a photographer in the range of fifty cents to a dollar and purloined images for less :-)

And brother, did they purloin them! I think there are more stolen image CDVs than originals out there...
BTW, good use of 'purloin' in a sentence. Yorkville boys write good...
