Let's again debate Cobb's real 1st card ?
Posted By: Josh K.
Brett - Dont you think your "a postcard is a postcard, and a baseball card is a baseball card" line is a bit simplistic. What is your definition of a baseball card? Is it size? Ok, if so, I guess a cabinet card isnt a baseball card. Is it something made out of cardboard and intended to be collected? Ok, if so, I think a postcard may qualify. They are clearly made out of cardboard and as Jay points out, have been collected since they were first produced. Daniel notes that people didnt have the disposable income to buy postcards and not use them - that, to me, is nothing more than a presumption. Postcards back then were probably given away as advertisements for different establishments/companies or cost no more than a penny. Just like today, there were "haves" who could afford to buy a postcard and "have nots" who obviously could not.
