Rizzuto & Slaughter "Real" RC Debate

Slaughter,........ Id rank that 1941 W754 just above the R330
Rizzuto R330
Mize R312

I know the Mize rookie would be the R312, but at the same time given all debates about what is and what isn't a card, and what technically qualifies as a rookie card, I think that the '41 DP would probably be the "latest" acceptable card a person could consider his RC. Not that all people would accept it as a rookie, but some would. Anything released later than the DP would be silly..

Ultimately, my goal would be to get the R312, but for now I'm somewhat satisfied with the DP.. Slaughter and Rizzuto however, the '48 Bowman should never be considered a RC, given that the '41 DP should meet all RC standards.

I have both the Mize R312 and the '41 DP.

R312: I still have a hard time calling anything larger than a postcard a "baseball card" (which is the reason I kept his '41 DP).

'41DP: I don't mind 2-4 players on a card but do not consider any team card an acceptable RC.

Team cards are a definite no for me...Unless, it's the only contemporary item available of a player.

Agree with Dave on team cards
