My opinion is that any cards produced for distribution to the public and depicting baseball players qualify as baseball cards. If a particular issue is included in the Standard Catalog, I definitely consider the issue a "baseball card" issue.

Obviously, individuals can create their own narrow definitions which eliminate certain categories of "cards."

Some have explained in prior posts on this subject that they only consider cards which were produced to be collected by "kids" to be baseball cards. If that is the case, you can eliminate all tobacco cards, as they were not marketed to kids.

The Dietsche "card" was sold to the public and it depicts a baseball player. Sounds like a baseball card to me. Same with the W601.
