The Texas Tommy series 1 cards, from 1914, also had a bio and some stats in that bio. For all practical purposes the 1869 Peck and Snyder, recently discussed, is generally accepted as the first "professional" baseball card. It is the first team, and year, all of the players on a team were paid. BTW, I had a long conversation with the recent winner of the Jay Leno Peck and Snyder, Jeff Rosenberg, (he called me a few nights ago) and he said his will probably be raffled off through his company. Ironically he got married at the same synogogue I got Bar Mitzvahed from in Houston (small world).
