Sorry, Kyle. The ‘48 Veeck is an oversize paper premium and in no way meets the definition of a card so, therefore, it cannot be a Rookie Card. It is a Veeck Rookie and maybe earliest collectible.

Here's my checklist for Veeck:
1930s Photo (High School Portrait) 1935 Press Photo (w/ Eleanor Raymond) 1943 Press Photo 1944 Press Photo 1945 Milwaukee Brewers Team Postcard 1946 Cleveland Team Photo Postcard 1948 Cleveland Team Issue 1948 Cleveland Team Issue 4-on-1 Picture Pack 1952 St. Louis Browns Postcards I'd consider the '48 Cleveland Team Issue his individual rookie. Heck, SGC grades them...not cardboard stock, but earliest checklisted and standard issue with his image. Good in my book. Here are a few of my Veeck's: ![]()

I count Larry Doby's 1947 Cleveland Indians Picture Pack photo as his true rookie card, or "earliest collectible" is probably a better way to say it. As much as I like the 1949 Bowman and 1949 Leaf cards, those came out 2yrs later! Really hard to argue with that.

So this was a topic of conversation in another forum.
I brought attention to the Russian pro hockey league which featured standard size hockey cards with Alex Ovechkin. To me, this was easily in every definition of rookie card. While other players have debuted in leagues outside the big 4 - Warren Moon in the CFL and other like Jim Kelly and Reggie White in the USFL. The point best presented here, is collect what you like.

A few alternative hockey rookie issues. The Roy is a year before his Topps/OPC.

And a Gretzky alternative, not to mention one of the Russian Ovechkins mentioned above (although I think this is from a subset).
