Default Earliest baseball card?

Posted By: Hankron

Actually, doesn't look like a cricket bat either. My guess is the kids literally cut off a suitable limb from a nearby tree ... Naturally, there will be arguments as to whether this fits the definition of a 'trading card'-- but it certainly looks like a game of baseball (or as close as they had back then), and can reasonably be argued to be one of the earliest baseball cards .... Quick, get it graded! ('Returned as ungradable due to funny looking bat')
