There was a thread here not too long ago as to what was the first baseball card. The definition varied from many of the folks here. I personally think a baseball card has to be of a single identifiable player, but I guess perhaps people could consider what you are showing as a baseball card as well! I think they may consider it more of a "trade card", but again, to each their own. Regardless of what the technical term is, I'd call it really cool

Great topic....great presentation.

My contribution to these "BB paper collectibles". I discovered this 1869 gem in a small Antique shop in the Pine Barrens
of New Jersey many years ago...…

Googled this. Fascinating. I didn't know this detailed info was available. He refers to them as "trading cards". I imagine there is a group of collectors just focused on this category. Definitely 19th century baseball...
