Phil,
Thanks. I understand your position, I am not sure that it answered my question though. I would say that most date changes in the hobby guides don't happen unless there is pretty significant evidence that the previously believed date was incorrect (1948 Leaf baseball perhaps), that part I get. I don't think that it means that there is no benefit in a discussion of the dates and their validity if there seems to be some evidence weighing against them just because it might make a change in a rookie card definition. Rookie cards although an extremely important part of the hobby is a niche like many other things, all IMO.
