Default Ty Cobb Rookie ?.....let's debate it .
Posted By: dd

I do not consider "rookie card" to be an appropriate term for pre-1948 issues. I consider the term a creation of the seventies to denote the first appearance of a player on nationally distributed cards(eg Bowman, Topps, Leaf).

I prefer to designate the first appearance of a pre-war player on cardboard his "first card."
