I'm confused guys. What is the difference between the two?

In the book "A Portrait of Baseball Photography" on page 334 in the Glossary, under "Cabinet Card" it states:

"A print photo affixed to a thick paper backing, or "mount," with dimensions typically ranging from 5" x 7" to 8" x 10", but possibly even exceeding 11" x 14" in order to fulfill the intent of being prominently displayed in a "cabinet" - hence the name."

Once again, is there any difference and if so, why would my Brown photo not be considered a cabinet?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, Jimmy
