Likely HOFer without a rookie card

I'd go with the Juan card too. Rather have the right photo than the right name.

Agree, but the hobby says otherwise.

Isn't there a Hap Felsch card that has the wrong name? That card still sells pretty well based on the image and not the name.

The Hobby has a long history of valuing the name on a card vs the picture. This is an E98 with Cy Young's name and Irv Young's picture. It us not the only one there are several E sets from the same year with same Young Error. An E97 is the only one I ever owned and was not sad to see it passed on to another collection. Because I think the person pictured on the card is very important.

What does the hobby think is more important in order:

1. The # on the flip
2. The name on the card
3. The picture on the card
