1999 is his actual rookie season. The card depicts Beltran and says rookie on it. If you don’t like that prospect card.

I see. Thanks. I guess my thinking now is to just stick with the prospects card, and my second choice, contrary to the verdict of the hobby, would be the Lebron card picturing Beltran. The whole thing is weird.

Agreed , I think that would consider the error card as his “rookie” to have. The sp 1995 you have is nice I would prefer that over the error. If it has to in 1995 then I like your choice.

In football cards, the great Green Bay Packers fullback Jim Taylor's nominal RC is the 1959 Topps which shows Cardinals player Jim Taylor. And...wait for it...Topps did it again in 1960. The first Jim Taylor card to show Jim Taylor is the 1961 Topps card. The 1961 sells for a multiple of the 1959 or 1960 cards, so that is sort of the answer: go for the first card of the actual player.

Last I checked, the nominal Beltran card sells for way way more than the Lebron card picturing him. No clue why.
