And yes, the PWCC Vault "public links" were not functioning (I have no idea why, and they expire after a few days anyway), so I posted an alternative link to the Vault Marketplace which is visible to anyone who is registered there.
And yes, I then realised that the deadline for the December auction was that night, so I changed my mind and decided to list it. Believe me, I have no interest in paying auction fees if I think I can find a direct buyer here. I have successfully sold a five figure card to a member, as well as a complete graded set worth close to that amount, and several smaller sets and lots. I almost never consign to auction any more and would not really care to "market for an auction" here, however after scanning the FAQ a couple times I do not see anything which expressly prohibits this.
And finally, as to the status of this as a "rookie" card. I will stand by my position that this is a rookie card as it his first card in a major issue set, even though it has awarded me an "idiot" designation from the moderator. As for the two earlier issues, one is from a non-US set and the other from a 25 card, blank backed set that doesn't even have a name. I have been collecting for 35 years and have never met anyone who owned or cared about those sets.
And I'm sure all you folks who are taking such a hard line on this also do not consider 1986 Fleer to be Michael Jordan's rookie, right? Because of course that could only be his 1984-85 Star.
Happy collecting to all,
Ron

Well that was good with you reading the rules, very few people do. And you did say "expressly" so I am sure you saw the catch-22 verbiage. No need to go there...

I don't care if you have been collecting and were pals with Burdick, it's still not his rookie card. I will take back the "idiot" part and just say I think you are wrong....

BTW, a lot of us on this forum DO care about those sets. You are just trying to pitch your card and that's fine. Just don't pitch a fallacy to people on this forum, who do this every day.
This below isn't in a set, right?
