The Best Rookie Cards Of Hall Of Fame Candidate Carlos Beltran

We've discussed before, but not clear to me why if one card has his name but not his pic, and another card has his pic but the wrong name, the first is considered his RC. I'd rather have the picture.

Yeah, it's an odd one, and not one where I think there's a clear "right" answer, although the hobby clearly has spoken.

I can only imagine that when Beltran eventually makes the Hall of Fame, Fanatics will "buy back" a bunch of these, cut them up, and "fix" the problem.

My solution was to buy the SP although not technically a rookie card.

Agreed...while technically a prospect card, it's actually got Beltran on it, in both name and picture. It's also tougher to find than the Topps Traded.
