Questions about things that have been bugging me

Jim B....good point on defining a "card." I can't define one either but I know one when I see one... and the Peck and Snyder's are certainly baseball cards.

Didn't a senator say something like that about pornography?

Zach, N28 & N29 are both 1888 issues. As Barry already cited, there is Clarkson with Boston. Both sets also feature Detroit players (Bennett & Getzien) and in each case they are in pinstriped uniforms which debuted in 1888. Any date other than 1888 would be incorrect.

When I said that the 52 Mantle card was his "Topps rookie card" I was being facetious. I really don't believe in that rookie card stuff. I like looking at a 1976 Aaron card with all those dingers being shown. All the stats, now that's a card!

I suppose you could get all caught up in the "it's his first card" crud but that just doesn't mean a whole lot to me, neither does having the FIRST Cobb card or first Wagner card. I'm happy just owning any of them and if it just happens to be their first card, then so be it.
