Rookie debate Part 2......Cobb
Posted By: Anson
This has occasionally come up but still seems to be highly debated. For whatever reason, there seems to be even more controversy surrounding Cobb. Are postcards considered rookie cards? What year was each set ACTUALLY released? If several were produced the same year, which came first? |

Whichever card was nationally distributed, not a premium, not depicting him in a minor league, and available in packs kids could purchase at the drugstore (hmmmm does that rule out tobacco?), that is his true RC. |

People seem to like to throw in the "national distribution" thing into the mix for a rookie card. The only problem with this is that even the major sets like t206, 205, etc were essentially regional issues pretty much relagated to the Northeastern part of US. Lee and I have spent plenty of time trying to find collections or even a small handful of t-cards in MN and haven't had any luck. Talking to other old time collectors, once you get West of Chicago, there isn't a whole lot in the way of original hoards/collections from the tobacco and caramel era of cards. |

To me any card issued in the same calendar year is on equal footing with any other. So in the case for example of Tony Gwynn, his 1983 Topps Fleer and Donruss cards are all his "true" RCs. I also think almost anyone except Hal would agree that if a player first appeared in a traded set, that too is his "true" RC. Even Beckett agrees with that except for a few years they had the stupid "XRC" designation which results in some second year cards like 85 Clemens and 87 Bonds still being misdesignated as RCs. |

postcards and the Sporting Life Cabinet, I guess Cobb's Rookie would have to be either an E101 or T206 Green Portrait or Bat On Shoulder (as those were the two Cobbs issued in the 150 Series for T206). The Bat Off Shoulder and Red Portrait Cobbs did not come out until the 350 Series for T206. |

I agree, I don't have a problem considering a post card and baseball "card". This is actually the size limitation for my set. I think anything bigger than a post card a you move into the area of what would be considered a premium and not a true card. And yes, I do not consider t3s cards, but I love them none the less and probably slip and call them cards, but by my defianition of a card, they are not. |

The Wolverine is one of the 1907 postcards that would be considered Cobb's Rookie and is actually rarer than the Dietsche Batting and probably even the Dietsche Fielding as well. I really like the Wolverine example! |
