Reading this thread leads me to wonder why, as collectors we feel the need to own the earlist possible items. I understand that the market is driven by early or rookie items, but as a collector, if you truly enjoy the item and the quality is to your liking, is there really importance as to how early the item is as a memorabilia standpoint. I could be a hypocrite on this post as i love the very early items. I voted yes to Ty Cobb at 17, a wonderful photo none the less!
What came first the chicken or the egg?
