Mainstream vs. Scarce Rookie Cards
Posted By: Phil Garry
How do you feel about Rookie Cards that were mainstream issues such as Goudey, Play Ball, T206, etc. as compared to the scarcer regional or low-production issues such as Worch Cigar, Boston Store, E103, etc. Which Rookie Cards would you prefer to own? |

Mainstream vs. Scarce Rookie Cards

honestly, I would prefer to own mainstream rookie cards over the regional or odd-issue counterparts, (in any year, pre or post-war) |

I prefer the scarcer cards - makes it even more exciting when you land one of them. |

Mainstream vs. Scarce Rookie Cards

For me it's an easy choice. I enjoy scarcer items so the less populated the better...When I was a rookie collector I would always count the regionals too....Or you can be like Beckett and say the '33 Goudey is Ruth's rookie ...As for collecting rookies "to each their own" is the perfect saying on this one....regards |

Even more perfect would be "to each his own" |

I dont think rookie collectors looking for the more obscure version of a rookie card will have much of an influence on the value of the more mainstream cards - there are always going to be enough collectors of sets like the 33 goudey and 51 bowman to keep those "rookies" in high demand. Just my .02... |

Prewar, I'll take the regional/scarcer card every time. Postwar, sometimes the regionals are better. Shown: 1928 Zeenuts Ernie Lombardi, 1961 Morrell Meats Maury Wills |

Although, I don't collect rookies as a goal, I do usually prefer a player's earlier card, if its affordable. But as far as this topic goes, I ALWAYS will go after the oddball types, given the choice. Just find them more interesting. Plus, they create an eclectic mix alongside the more mainstream issues. Makes for a very cool display, which is important to me. |
