Is this called a TRADE CARD?
I have a large number of very different SIZES...Does one call ALL of them TRADE CARDS?
This BEAUTY is from 1891, is 6.75" x 4.25" and, to me, is BEAUTIFUL...But should I list cards like these?
THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING!

Yes, that is a 18th Century trade card or advertising trade card.
(not to be confused with various other "Trade card" definitions)

Tom - it would be from the 19th Century - not 18th.

And I would cross list also in collectibles/advertising/foods, for sure.

Wish it WERE the 18th century...

I don't "do" trading cards, but see them on eBay. I have some Lion ads and they are beautifully illustrated.
You could put it in the Collectible: trading card OR you could put it in Collectible: Advertising: Coffee. I would probably do the latter.
Very nice card, Tom. You and Ralphie have really branched out. Great stuff!

Listing in two categories is throwing money down the drain! Very few buyers browse categories (especially with new "best match" Glad it has a bid!

List it in the state where the town is located and make sure you have RPPC in title and real photo in IS and description. You can list in "RPPC people" if that's what the subject is (I have some people - myself included - who collect thes). I am pretty sure no one browses the RPPC category for specific towns - they will search titles or t&d's
