Wow, Carew. Overreaction much? While Dave's comments are unpopular (I disagree with him as well) they are certainly within the scope of the conversation. I don't believe he set out to offend anyone here and see no reason he should be bammed.
Orlando's direct line number is floating around on another board. Could use that instead of screen shots, maybe get a quicker response or you may get a 30-45 day wait
I used to collect the unique cards, similar to the card that started this thread. I preferred the NNO or special one card issues that would be part of a larger set, but not numbered as part of the set. They became widely popular in the 90s across all the sports and probably non-sports as well. That, along with the various redemption cards and such. I would also chase the cards like the 76 Bevacqua bubble gum contest card. They were just something fun and unique, but still related to the game itself.
I have not really gone after them for a while though and with all the SP and SSP stuff, I wouldn't even try these days anymore.
Here is one that I grabbed back in the day. It's certainly not a baseball card in the traditional sense and I am not sure how it was issued/distributed, but I added it none the less.
It's #268 but is the third variation of #268. The set card is Votto, then Votto has a SP of his card, then comes Teddy as the third card of #268 and is a SP. ...the card is not even part of the set.
It's not serial numbered, which I think might have been the question. I don't mind a SP or SSP of a batboy. He has a direct association with the game in a way that celebrity cards don't. Batboys have appeared in a number of minor league cards, and I know there was one in 1955 Golden Stamps Brooklyn Dodgers. IIRC there was even one in an Old Judge set. I can't say I mind the rally squirrel or Poley Walnuts SP cards either - those are commemorating moments in major league games. I just don't want these cards becoming part of the base set.

That equates to 333 people per game, which is pretty much nothing.

This kind of card certainly has a place in the collecting world, although not for all collectors obviously.
Is the Teddy card numbered, does anyone know?

Yes, it is #268.
