Just curious. Where the 1914/15 CJs even marketed/listed as "cards" on the box? Or player pictures? Does anyone have a photo of an actual CJ box from back then they could share?
They are referred to as "baseball picture cards" on the reverse of the advertising poster sold by REA in 2009. It is interesting that for the first part of the writeup, they are referred to as only "pictures".

Still, I think it is hobby blasphemy to say 1914 CJs are not "cards".
