Steve,

Just expanding your thought about the stamp being just a stamp.

If there is nothing unique about the cards to differentiate them from the E-98s,
the question then becomes is their really such a thing as an Old Put cigar or are the stamps from the RR stations selling cigars ???

The terminus of the railroad in NYC appears to be around 155 St. Where was the field where the Highlanders played? Perhaps folks from the north of NYC had to take the Old Put to get to the games, hence a plausible connection between baseball cards and the stamp. Just a thought.
