What's the first true baseball card?

Posted By: Don

I'll throw this out for discussion.

I say the T205 set. Cards prior to that were pictures of baseball players, not baseball cards per se. The innovative bio, stats, and facsimile signatures clearly set the T205's apart from all previous issues making them the first true baseball cards in my opinion.
