Rizzuto & Slaughter "Real" RC Debate

Thanks for the responses, and I agree on all accounts. Pretty much just wanted to confirm what I always thought.

No doubt it's the '41 Double Play for both. That was a mainstream issue, albeit not the most attractive.

In fact, Slaughter shares his card with Johnny Mize, making it a double RC for both if I'm not wrong.

Mize also has a card with Lithweiler(this is the one I have). Personally, I consider it Mize's RC as well. Everything earlier was a little sketchy to technically consider a card..I'd be happy to have any of them as his rookie card in my collection though.

Reese also has a RC in the DP set, and possibly Joe Gordon(depending on perspective).

Mize appears in the 1936 R312 set, which were considered premiums and are somewhat larger than standard size cards. Again depends on your definition of a "card". Good point on the Reese. Gordon appears on an R309 from 1939, again considered a premium and a little larger than a standard size card.

Slaughter also appears in the '41 Cards team issue set

Would love to add the Musial Propagandas Montiel card to my P/C.

Reese also appears in the 1941 Playball set.
