Ken W.I agree with those that have a broader definition of what constitutes a baseball card. I have never understood why a postcard isn't considered a collectable? Doesn't the person who sends a postcard to a friend or family member usually choose something with a subject matter that they believe would be of interest to the recipient? Like sending a baseball postcard to a baseball fan? Wouldn't that recipient likely hang on to that card, possibly even starting a collection? I know I would have, had anyone ever sent me one. As far as the requirement that some sort of product be sold in conjunction with a true card: It seems to me that the product (or service) being included with the postcard, is the mail service itself. You are essentially purchasing a postage medium, and getting a cool picture card included with that purchase. Just like getting a card with your purchase of lousy chewing gum!
