Not much nice to say about this. Is a postcard even a trading card?

Sure.  Exhibits, which were printed for decades, up through 1966, are considered cards, and they're all postcard-size.  The 1925 Gehrig is considered his rookie card and sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The problem, in my opinion, is that blank-backed team-issued photos are often listed as "postcards" when in fact they're really just photos given away by the team, sometimes across multiple years.  That's unfortunate, as it blurs the line betwen postcards and photos  and leads to confusion.  Of course, team-issued photos are collectibles, but calling them cards is a stretch.  Postcards, on the other hand, are very much cards.  In my opinion.

I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me find a 1998 Bryan Braves (non-perforated) Kerry Ligtenberg and a 2000 Nabisco Albertson's Astros Chris Truby.

Last missing items in a 10,000-card "set."
