The 1936 issue would also qualify as Feller's rookie although not his rookie card as it is a newspaper cut-out and, therefore, does not qualify as a "card".
All three of the previously mentioned Feller cards are considered rookie cards with the OPC being the most desirable due to scarcity (although the 4-on-1 Exhibit is probably very close in terms of a similar number of known examples) and the '37 Goudey being the most widely collected. For BB HOF RC collectors, the Goudey makes sense as it fills the rookie card slot and saves money for other rookie cards that will cost you a lot more money as you pursue the set (that's the card of Feller that I collected myself when working on my BB HOF RC collection).

I apologize for resurrecting this old thread, but I couldn't locate my Boston American Sports Stamps when it was live. Stumbled across them tonight, so here's a scan of Feller's rookie "card."
