Default Exciting New Discovery Of One Of The Earliest Known Cards

Posted By: Kevin Meares

and even moreso given the claim. Thanks for sharing Newbie question: A baseball card is used to sell a product, correct? So what is to distinguish a baseball card from a baseball trade card? I read the cycleback piece, so I guess I'm asking those who make a distinction between the two. Is it just a matter of convention, that tobacco cards have generally been marketed as the first baseball cards? Other reasons? Someone mentioned specificity, mode of distribution, etc.
