Let's talk about "over-looked" true Rookie cards....Pre-war and early Post-war

I actually much prefer the new method of sticking an RC on contemporary releases across different products. It gives you the ability to choose your card. I often find the Heritage cards the nicest rookies and am glad I'm not stuck with whatever's available. Some really good players have awful rookies if you only go by first bowman.

The only RCs I have refused to own so far are BKB cards, 1974 Topps George Gervin 1975 Topps Moses Malone and 1981 Topps Kevin McHale. All "pinheads" where you can barely see the player's face. Thankfully, all the postwar HOF baseball RCs are IMO at least presentable.

I don't know how anyone can own either the 1992 Bowman Mariano Rivera or the Chipper Jones. Yikes.

I'm also not really partial to multi-player rookies but I've always thought the Jack Morris 78 Topps was the worst of the worst.

This Morris is better.

Nice Trammell and Whitaker in the set too, IMO.
