Default NS Rookies
Long before Disney revived his fame, Davy had a rookie back in 1910:





Earliest Lindy I can find is from a German set issued a year before his famous flight across the Atlantic:



The Boy General's rookie appeared just 12 years after his Last Stand:





Caesar's first card was in that same 1888 set:

Very often when PSA says "1930" it's actually "1930s," as in they don't know exactly when.

I brought a half-dozen sealed packs of 1978 Donruss "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" to the 2024 National and challenged my friends to unwrap Steve Martin's first card (he has two in that set). Sam here found it straightaway.

My favorite early John Wayne card...

Frankie Darro Picture Stamp Club

These are very similar in size and look to the Rogers Peet sports card set and feature essentially "friends" of young actor Frankie Darro, who was a bit of a big deal as a young actor in the early 1930's.

Dates to 1934 as it references Darro's movie "Burn 'em up Barnes"

It features cards of boxer Max Baer, Laurel/Hardy, Shirley Temple, Will Rogers, the Little Rascals, and a young John Wayne.
