The first Baseball cards are generally credited to the 1860s, with the earliest known example being a card featuring the Brooklyn Excelsiors. These cards were initially created as promotional items to market tobacco products, providing a collectible aspect for consumers. They featured images of players and were designed to boost sales by appealing to baseball fans. Over time, baseball cards evolved into a popular hobby and collectible items in their own right.
