If you're trying to put together a rookie Hall of Famer collection, you need to be flexible. For one, there is no universal agreement on what a player's first card is. Second, some are unique or nearly so, such as the Cy Young card.

My suggestion is to go after the earliest card that is affordable to you. Using the Cy Young example, even his second card, the E107, will set you back five figures, so you may need to go after a later example.
