There are few things on the radio better than a good game on in the background

There was a thread here not too long ago as to what was the first baseball card. The definition varied from many of the folks here. I personally think a baseball card has to be of a single identifiable player, but I guess perhaps people could consider what you are showing as a baseball card as well! I think they may consider it more of a "trade card", but again, to each their own. Regardless of what the technical term is, I'd call it really cool

Thanks - found the thread.
