His 1916 M101-5 Sporting News card IS his recognized Rookie Card."
Rob Lifson disagrees with you. Every time he sells one, he calls it the Ruth Rookie. The good old argument of minor league cards (Balitmore News), first appearance in the big leauges (Sporting News) or first main stream issue (Goudey). Who is right?
