I agree with you, Jerry. The 1863 Jordan & Co. CDV's/game tickets are my pick as the first cards. Although, wasn't the team CDV (don't remember the team) that also pictured Henry Chadwick, supposedly dated 1861? That's the earliest that I've ever heard, except for the 1859 Harper's woodcuts, which I don't consider cards because they were not intended to be cut out of the magazine. I know this is a highly opinionated subject!
