Everyone has a different opinion, but mine is that this is a ticket and not a card. It is also a cricket ticket as, per the REA write-up, Wright had resigned from the Knickerbockers at the time of the Grand Match but was still an active cricket player. Look at the Sam Wright/Harry Wright CdV in Legendary and compare what it will realize to the $50K minimum that REA has on the Wright ticket. That is the value of convincing someone that it is a baseball card. The minimum is a safeguard against the card going for a CdV or Ticket price which would certainly be a LOT less than the REA minimum bid. It will be interesting to see if it gets a bid at that level.
Would anyone consider the tickets that many MLB teams now issue with players images on them to be baseball cards? Of course not, they are tickets. The same, in my opinion, goes for this item.
