DonNo rules as to what "counts". I was just throwing this out there for discussion.
I do think the T205's are innovative and either the first "true" baseball cards, or definately a new level in the evoloution of baseball cards.
In fact, I think that they are the only prewar cards with both stats and a bio. The bio became pretty much standard, but I don't think stats appeared again until Topps.
Either way, they're the first cards that have all the elements we expect to see on a baseball card. They even have shiney stuff of the edges.
