Then again, I never considered "Exhibit" cards to be real cards either because of their large size... but everyone said I was crazy.

I may have to reevaluate my position on these cards that are larger than today's "standard-sized" cards.

Just because someone started making cards 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" in the 1950's does NOT mean that anything BIGGER than this should be "unacceptable," right?

I can't accept something 8" x 10" (like a magazine insert) as being a baseball "card"...

but anything 4" x 6" (like most exhibits) or less should probably count.

Yes, this represents a "change of heart," but only after years of collecting modern cards and never really grasping the different sizes that existed BEFORE Topps came into being!
