Wesley"To me it is a rectangular piece of cardboard
with a BB player's image on it.....and that qualifies it as a BB card....period."
There are many items that fit this criteria. Postcards are rectangular. So are box cutouts. And strip cards too.
They might fit the definition of a baseball card since they are "rectangular pieces of cardboard", but I prefer regular gum and tobacco cards over postcards, strip cards, cutouts and exhibits. Just a preference.
