Speaking of Harry Hooper, what is his "rookie?"
 

Posted By: <b>Tom Lawrie&nbsp; </b><p>Is it a Colgan's Chips (1909-11)? If so, is it the E254 or E270? <BR><BR>Or is it a Sweet Cap Pin (1910)? (Do those count if you can squeeze them into a top loader or if you could talk one of the legit. grading companies into slabbing one in their deep holders designed for thick modern insert cards?)

Posted By: <b>Andy Baran</b><p>I would consider his 1910 M116 Sporting Life card to be his "rookie card" for the following reasons:<BR><BR>* I personally don't consider Colgans to be cards because they are round. It goes to my personal theory that if it doesn't feel like a card, then it isn't one.<BR><BR>* Pins are definitly not cards<BR><BR>* His E91 doesn't actually picture him<BR><BR>* I don't consider E125 Die Cuts to be cards either for the same reason as mentioned above<BR><BR>Just because I don't consider these items to be cards doesn't mean that I don't think that they are all extremely cool. I'm not trying to start an argument about what is a card and what isn't, I'm just stating my opinion. Anyone is welcome to disagree.<BR><BR>With that being said, I consider his M116 to be his first traditional card that was issued.
