More good insight, Dan.
The date of issue of the Maranville postcard has been questioned before. The uniform style pictured is 1912 but could have been issued up to 1914 (Boston's championship season). This would still make it a Rookie Card but would also open the door for his Cracker Jack and Polo Grounds cards as well. I have chosen to go with the postcard for now.
Regarding Lindstrom, there really is no way of pinning down the exact year of issue so I have gone with the premise that it could have been 1925, thus the Rookie Card status.
For Nichols, although he is pictured in a Minor League uniform, I have chosen to include his Old Judge card because, by and large, it was a Major League card issue.
On Gomez, I have also heard that the US Caramels were likely a 1933 issue, not sure on that one. If so, then his '33 Goudey would also qualify for Rookie Card status.
