Daniel BrettaI'm with Barry on this one...Whether this is a trade card or a baseball card really makes this no more or less desirable to any but a few who are hung up on the symantics.
Is the card going to be less important to you if it's only a trade card?
With that said I think it's interesting and important to track down the history of such items and I commend you Hal and anyone else who's trying to track this information. The 1869 Red Stockings were sensational and certainly Peck and Snyder were cashing in on their fame and using them to promote their own brand of baseball supplies.
