I wish I had the dripping sarcasm font
Look, it was an idea that did not work out (you can use ther search tool on this site to see the reviews when this book came out)
Obvioulsy, with very few exceptions there are no real easily defined rookie cards for pre-war cards. To me 1939 Ted WIlliams and 1941 Pee Wee Reese are OK and very few others. If this book had been successful, we would have adapted the post-WW2 stance (the goudey RCs would be gone) and just printed the book in a second volume using 1948-present. Good attempt, we worked hard on the volume, but did not sell worthy of doing the book again.
And yes I did write many of those "rookie" blurbs
