I've personally always viewed the '38 Goudey as his RC though, like you said, he does have a few earlier issues aside from that.

I'd never consider his '48 card to be his RC.

How in the world would a 1948 Bowman be a rookie when he has a Nationally distributed 1938 Goudey card? This isn’t a regional issue that was only available in a select few areas of the country or anything. In 1938 Goudey was the THE most prominent producer of baseball cards (Gum Inc, produced more picture cards but they didn’t make baseball cards in 1938 but would start producing Play Ball cards the following year and would later become Bowman)

For some reason I think Beckett lists the cards like that often. They have a weirdly strict definition of a Rookie card and some people see that and just go with it. Absolute silliness

Don't like premiums or foreign cards? OK. The 1937 Exhibit Feller is the RC:

Yeah Johnny Mize is another 1948 Bowman that somehow gets called a rookie.

12 years after his real one.

I've always favored his 1937 Wheaties issue.

FWIW, Old Cardboard doesn't even include the 1938 Goudey as being one of Feller's rookie cards: https://oldcardboard.com/ref/rookies...ail.asp?id=111

Personally agree Jon -- as far as a rookie 'card' goes, for me it's the '37 OPC.
Besides that, I think they're really gorgeous as well.

Hard to argue with the Goudey Premium wide pen, and to a slightly lesser degree the Exhibit.
But it's all up for debate, for sure.

That was my reaction, but if you google Feller rookie card the first article makes the claim that the 38 Goudey were not National. I think that was where this guy got his info.

I don’t think you can have a series of cards from 1936-1941 and in any way call a 48 card a rookie.
