Default What's the first true baseball card?
Posted By: Ken Wirt

Thanks, Corey. Yeah, I now remember about the Chadwick being dated 1864. I think someone had written 1861 on the back, but that proved to be incorrect.

Also, just wanna add that the 1889 Goodwin & Co. Baseball Album circular cards (A35) have some limited player stats on the backs. That's the earliest stats that I've seen.
