Pre-Rookies go all the way back to the largest 19th Century baseball card set ever produced, N172 Old Judges with several HOF’ers appearing in their minor league uni’s. The biggest of all for pre-rookies, however, were Zeenuts with many HOF’ers appearing in multiple years, all prior to their MLB rookie cards. In most cases pre-rookies from both of these issues sell for much more than their MLB rookie card goes for due to scarcity, as already mentioned before. For one off’s, good luck finding a Ruth, Lefty Grove, Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, Rube Marquard, etc.

The 1886 Hancock Clothing cards of three Syracuse Star players (International Association) were the first minor league cards, the first cards identifying the players on the back, and along with the N167s arguably the first baseball cards. At this point only three cards are known in total (the three pictured) also making them among the rarest cards.

I'll see your Hancocks and raise you....a 2009 Francisco Lindor U16 USA team card. I think it is Lindor's first ever issued card.
