That's the ultimate takeaway.
Some people won't consider regional issues even if they're the same size, type, etc of cards considered "real."
Some people won't consider anything that was mailed in to claim even if similar cards were released as a food/item premium.
Some people won't consider anything that didn't come in a pack.
Some people won't consider anything oversized... or too undersized...or stamps...or leathers...or wrappers (Overland Candy)...etc...
I consider non-oversized regional issues RC's if they're the earliest cards. I know numerous people that would not...
