1992 Edito Service. I think it's Italian. Massive set with a million celebrities. Some more which I consider first cards until proven wrong:

1937 Famous Minors series. I got the whole set for $5, tons of history figures. British tobacco is largely dirt cheap. My leanings are toward antiquity and literature, so these two are nice in my book. I have no idea what John Milton's rookie card is.

Rookie cards make (a little) sense in the sports card hobby. In non-sports, it's silly.

Why? Why for example isn't Michael Jackson's first card as significant as Mike Trout's, relatively speaking?

Personally, I don’t think they make much sense in either world. First card, I get a little bit, but rookie with its million inconsistent rules to not include any cards that are difficult or the collector doesn’t want to have to buy don’t make a lick of sense.

I have no idea what John Milton’s first card is. Probably a Neurdein or something like that.

More comedians:








This next one is a year earlier than the Pro Line posted above, but neither is his first. He was in a set called "Uncle Milty" from the 1950s, when he had an early TV show.





Again, this next one is not his first card, but it's the only one I have signed.
