51 Wheaties is likely later and not a 51 issue.

thanks for pointing that out, Peter. Even eliminating that one, we're still looking at a handful of cards that came before his 52 topps, yet you still see the headlines of "Mickey Mantle Rookie Sells for X"

It is and always will be THE Mantle card, rational or not.

I think my whole collection is comprised of "overlooked" true rookies...at least by my definition, which includes minor league cards, regionals, postcards, etc. And while I love team and multi-player cards, I prefer individual shots/photos.

Here are a few major league cards that fit the bill (last names A-B) - '32/33 Appling, '48 Ashburn, '67 Bench, '47 Berra, '74 Brett, '55 Bunning:
