From the FAQ on their site:

Are Ars Longa Art Cards reproductions or reprints?

No. Ars Longa Art Cards are original pieces of collectible art. Ars Longa incorporates historical design features and images to create original contemporary artwork. We then manually distress each card to create a timeless and attractive one-of-a-kind work of art with an authentic vintage appeal.

Our intention is to honor the sport and the hobby by bringing their histories to life through art. By drawing attention to certain players, their stories and accomplishments, and drawing inspiration from some iconic card designs, we hope to make the early histories of baseball and the baseball card more accessible to collectors.
