No. His rookie card is 1961 Topps. His 1960 card is of a minor leaguer.

What percentage of the hobby do you think agrees with you?

They don't have to agree with me if they can explain how a player who never appeared in a major league game is considered a rookie.

I'll explain it to you, to me it's a rookie because it's his first appearance in a big league set.

I am going to start a separate thread to collect opinions on some representative controversies.

If you appear in a major league set but never play a major league game, were you ever a rookie?

Brien Taylor? I guess so.

He was never a rookie and his card is a draft pick. I saw your other thread. Just wondering why you make the distinction for Trout that his rookie is the 2011 Bowman and not the 2009? I'm assuming it's because he was a prospect in 2009. But Taylor and even the 1993 Jeters are the precursors to the "1st Bowman" craze. Their initial Topps cards are as draft picks.

At the time I thought this Topps Gold was a great pull.
