Gilbert MainesHi all,
During my preteen years in the early '50s neither me nor any of my friends had any interest in players who had no history of performance. Each (currently) notable rookie card was equally shunned.
Now however, I can appreciate that the portrayal of lifetime records by showing the initial and last card of a player does present that subject well.
What I do not understand is:
why is there essentially no premium asasociated with a players last card
why is the rookie card's premium typically so high
what other value is associated with a rookie card
why we have "true" rookie cards, and "false" rookie cards
Any insight which you may choose to offer on this and related topics is appreciated.
