Defining pre-war rookie cards! Ahhh.....

I believe Zack Wheat's RC is in the T206 series.

Isn't Marquard's RC technically in the T206 set, too, since his 1908 Indianapolis PC could be considered a pre-rookie according to your standards for HOF RCs?

Jim:

If we rule out the E91B's (1908 - 1910) because they are not displaying the players that are named on the card, then Marquard's RC is his T206.

Yeah, sorry, Dan, I meant to mention the e91 in my last post. I would feel comfortable with his T206 as my represented RC, but that's just me.

The E91B series came out in 1909, so I guess a few different cards can be used for Marquard including the E90-1.

How are you classifying W600s?

Hmmm.... good question. I'm not sure. I've never owned one. Here are my thoughts/concerns:
1. Are these really cards? Or are they paper inserts that were issued with the Sporting Life newspaper? I don't know. I'm sure the experts here know these answer.
2. They were issued from 1902-11. Assuming they are cards, for any that can be proven to have been produced before all other issues (i.e. E107, Fan Craze, T206, etc.) I would consider the W600 their RC. If it can't be proven they were produced earlier, I'll assume the E107, Fan Craze, T206 etc. as an acceptable RC.

I guess I'll have to do more research.

Thanks,
Dan
