1951 Toleteros Gibson on Leland's
Posted By: davidcycleback
It's a common mistake to read a short term literally, in particular technical names. Many scientific names were consciously coined as nicknames for convenience's sake, and are wrong if read literally. If all labels were worded to be accurate and whole when read literally, the names would be as long as the definitions and it would take us hours to answer, "And how was your day, dear?" For example, how many of the expensive baseball cards in your collection have ever been traded, Hal? For those that have never been traded (perhaps including the T206 Wagner), does that mean they are not baseball cards ('baseball trading cards')?
