I guess if you could never get one for under $750, then you would have to.
Regarding team issued postcards, used or not, those would be considered rookie cards if from the same year as their mainstream rookie card such as your Drysdale example.

Never said you were [as far as you know
]. The cost of the 'rookie' cards in some of the Exhibit sets is one reason why I haven't pursued the prewar sets with the same vigor as the postwar issues.
I consider the PCs to be rookies also but I know a lot of collectors who would disagree. To each his own...
