Default The First Baseball Card -- Latest Candidate

Posted By: barrysloate

First Corey, nice little pick up of a piece that has not been discussed before in the hobby.

Obviously, over the years the parameters of what we call a baseball card have expanded. As such, your discovery can in fact be called one, too. However, exactly what kind of baseball card this is is a fairer question.

It is a lovely engraving, earlier than anything we have seen before. The tie to Elysian fields is of course of great significance. Over time I am sure we will learn more about this unusual artifact.
