Opinions on post war HoF rookie set
 

I am one away from finishing and am thinking about calling it complete. I need the 1949 Leaf Newhouser and I have no interest in the card. I'm also a Tiger collector and have no interest in pursuing the Leaf team set. The sad thing is I'm a fan of Prince Hal and met him at a card show about 30 years ago, he was very pleasant.

Can I consider the post war HoF rookie set complete without the Newhouser?

Do you need him .
 

Yes, if you want to :)

My opinion, no. If the registry says it's part of the set, I think you gotta have it. If you get two, I can use one as well:D

Simple answer: Yep, you can stop here and call it complete.

Simple question: Can you go with a non-Leaf rookie card? A 1939-46 Exhibit, for example?

No, not complete without it. I won't rest until it's done.............

Well if the registry says you have to have it - then that settles it, right? :rolleyes:

Never let a website tell you how to collect. And above all, never let a website manipulate you into buying a card you don't want.

Gotta have it
 

Anyone read the book Needful Things ? A baseball card is involved

Well the registry responses do not apply. My set is a mix of PSA and SGC.

The registries are wrong in my opinion. They continue to refer to the Leaf set as a 1948 issue. Plus why is Newhouser included when Boudreau isn't?

My definition of a rookie card is a national release of a player as a MLB player, so that excludes other releases. Exhibit's? I consider them postcards, others may like them, but they're not for me.

I'm liking your answer of calling it complete.

Then call it complete.
If you're still not sure, don't call it anything. You can always keep it "in progress" while you pursue other things and decide later.

Cheers,

Richard.
