Real "Cards" & Your Thoughts!!!!

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

This subject has gone round and round since before I first came here on a weekend furlough from the looney bin. Most recently Hal Lewis disproved the adequacy of my most recent attempt to define a baseball card; with his Hank Aaron driver's license.
All I am left with is that the opinion of adults has nothing to do with this subject. The determination of "what is a baseball card" is done in the field, by real collectors (you know, the original ones - kids).
So whatever they choose to treat as a card, is one. And whatever they treat as a picture is that. And how you assess their intent, I have no idea. But they know. So ask someone who was once a kid.
