Opinions on post war HoF rookie set
I am one away from finishing and am thinking about calling it complete. I need the 1949 Leaf Newhouser and I have no interest in the card. I'm also a Tiger collector and have no interest in pursuing the Leaf team set. The sad thing is I'm a fan of Prince Hal and met him at a card show about 30 years ago, he was very pleasant.
Can I consider the post war HoF rookie set complete without the Newhouser?

My opinion, no. If the registry says it's part of the set, I think you gotta have it. If you get two, I can use one as well

Simple answer: Yep, you can stop here and call it complete.
Simple question: Can you go with a non-Leaf rookie card? A 1939-46 Exhibit, for example? Richard.

Well if the registry says you have to have it - then that settles it, right?

Well the registry responses do not apply. My set is a mix of PSA and SGC.
The registries are wrong in my opinion. They continue to refer to the Leaf set as a 1948 issue. Plus why is Newhouser included when Boudreau isn't? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My definition of a rookie card is a national release of a player as a MLB player, so that excludes other releases. Exhibit's? I consider them postcards, others may like them, but they're not for me. I'm liking your answer of calling it complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're still not sure, don't call it anything. You can always keep it "in progress" while you pursue other things and decide later. Cheers, Richard.
