Guys, don't I have the Rose Comapny P/C listed as WaJo's rookie card in my first post of this thread?
I agree with Kevin S. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 01-19-2016 at 02:08 PM. |

I would treat that Buck Leonard postcard as a real photo postcard, unless it's part of a catalogued set, I would not use it as a rookie card. It's not the postcard designation itself, it's more the uniqueness as well as the lack of dates of issue and the fact that those were produced over many years. I would consider those Rowe postcards more like a collector's issue set, kind of like Broder's sets from the 70's and '80's.

Phil - you do. I was just responding to Hank's post concerning the Weiser PC and his asking about the E91 American Caramel issue.

Johnson Rookie
Quote:
If T5 Cabinets (as well as other rare cabinets) are considered official cards, then the Weiser Wonder is likewise a card. However, as Kevin correctly noted, since the Weiser Wonder reflects Johnson as a pre-Major League pitcher, it is his inaugural "professional baseball" issue and NOT a true MLB rookie card (similar to cards like the Baltimore News Ruth, Zeenut DiMaggio, etc.). The Rose PC is, indeed, Johnsons true rookie card. JoeT |

Of course, it all comes down to personal preference and, in the end, we will all collect what does it for us. Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 06-19-2021 at 02:19 PM. |

Not sure if its been said but Lefty Grove has a card far before 1928 Star Player. 1921 Baltimore Orioles Tip Top.

Jason:
You can definitely make a good case for the Aaron postcard as a rookie card. My stance on it is yes to the Negro League part of the equation (although it pre-dates Aaron's time in Jacksonville, which would be considered pre-rookie time), yes to the postcard part of the equation but, in the end, no because it is a unique real photo postcard (only one known as far as I could tell). Since there are a few other Indy players issued in the same format, could be considered part of a "set" and thus could qualify for rookie card status. This one could really go either way, I chose to stick with the 1954 Aaron issues as rookie cards.... |

I was just responding to your post of the 13th. On the Weiser postcards, I don't believe any were issued until several years after he had left Weiser. If the Rose set was issued in 1908, that would certainly qualify as a rookie card since there wasn't time for any 1907 issues. Perhaps the American Caramel was also from 1908, but as I said I'm no expert on that.

It seems like rookie HOF status always goes back to definitions of a "card"....or how it was distributed, was it a part of a series etc.....

There is that debate, certainly. To me, it's what they used to say about obscenity: "you know it when you see it." Just speaking personally, I don't think it needs to be part of a series, and I don't see why a postcard back should disqualify, but I also understand the arguments against those. In the case of a mounted photograph, to me that can only be categorized as a mounted photograph.
