because:
-Cost
-I like to think that you really can't pin down a consistent working definition of a rookie card from the pre-war era
-It can become difficult to even pin down a consistent working definition of a card from the pre-war era
-Players only, because the others don't actually belong in the HOF (Players would play the game with or without team owners and administrators, umpires are supposed ot be invisible and not affect the outcome of a game, so what's the point of honoring them? for what? go figure!)
-Ficusing on the rookies helps to satisfy my need for a system or a sense of order which wouldn't otherwise be there!
