Would the rules have any problem with a theoretical card that allowed you to play cards from the battlefield? This situation can  come up  in silver-bordered games, but could it work in regular Magic?

I don't see a problem with it from a technical standpoint. It's weird and probably not particulaly intuitive, but it should be doable.

Do I Obsolete Grizzly Bears  ?   Creature -- Bear You may cast THIS CREATURE from the battlefield. 2/2 I'm sorry. Being able to see it only makes it look more dumb to me.

Unintuitive though it may be, it has some interesting potential if you pair it with something that cares about spells being cast. Recurring Racketeer   Creature -- Human Rogue You may cast CARDNAME from the battlefield. Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay  . If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.)2/2

Except extort only triggers on the battlefield...

At the time "when cast" needs to trigger, the casting is completed and the card is on the stack. It can't trigger from there.

No, it wasn't. How to cast a spell: 1) Move it from its old zone (normally from hand; here, it's from the battlefield) to the stack.
2) Choose modes, additional costs like kicker, and so on
3) Choose targets, if any
4) Calculate the total cost
5) Activate mana abilities
6) Pay the cost
7) The spell is considered cast. Check to see if anything triggers. Your "Recurring Racketeer" leaves the battlefield at (1). Extort can only trigger at (7).
