Default Exciting New Discovery Of One Of The Earliest Known Cards
Posted By: Jay Miller

Why are you so certain that this trade card dates from 1866? I see no reason why it just as easily couldn't be from 1875 for example. The fact that PSA calls this an 1866 card should mean zero to any vintage card collector. As for the Hoboken grand match piece, I personally believe it is a ticket and not a card (nice purchase Keith ). Not that I've given it alot of thought, but I've always believed that the earliest baseball card was the Creighton P&S. I also like the fact that it is part of a group of cards issued by the same merchant.
