Hal LewisI know that my definition of a "baseball card" is different than some folks...
but TO ME...
it cannot be a real "baseball card" unless it actually depicts a REAL baseball PLAYER who is identifiable from the card.
---------------------
Tobin Lithographs showing clowns playing baseball - NO, not "true baseball cards"
Cards with drawings of REAL big league baseball players that have the players' names on the cards - YES, true cards (even if the drawings barely resemble the player)
Even today, if someone draws a picture of their kid playing wiffle ball on a card-sized piece of cardboard and distributes them around town...
there is NOBODY that would consider this to be a "true baseball card."
