Matt:
Until I just looked it up today, I did not realize that the R303 A,B & C's were different sizes, the B's & C's are larger and the A's are smaller. Am I correct that the Williams is the only Rookie in the "A" series? Anyway, I am going to add that one as another option to my Ted Williams listing. Thanks for the insight on it. I guess that the R312's would be okay then as they are about the same size. I will go ahead and add those in too. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 09-21-2011 at 02:00 PM. |

Both the dual tone and single toned W560 sets are BOTH 1929 issues at the earliest!
-The dual tones (either red photo on black suit cards, or black on red) were produced first and are a more mixed-subject set (more football, boxing, actors, etc.). Rogers Hornsby is in the set as a member of the Chicago Cubs, a team he was first with in 1929. -The single tone set was produced after the dual toned set, and many of the non-baseball subjects were eliminated (not all though). This set has as one of the new players added Fred Maguire with the Boston Braves, a team was not with until 1929. The common denominator in all of this is the 1929, that is the earliest these sets could have been made. We have had this discussion before... http://net54baseball.com/showthread....hlight=maguire I'm not sure there is any debate left about them, were I a rookie card collector I would not be counting these as a 1927 set. -Rhett

Thanks for the info, Rhett. I will go back and look at the other options for those three players with W560 Rookie Cards (Foxx, Grove & L. Waner) and see if the W560's still remain as their earliest card, even as a 1929 issue.
Well, Waner has another 1927 card so the W560 has now been removed. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 09-21-2011 at 03:25 PM. |

After doing more research on the Grove and Foxx P/C Back Exhibits, they could have been produced in 1928 or 1929.
For Foxx, that would make the P/C Back Exhibit his primary Rookie Card. For Grove, his 1928 Star Player Candy would be his primary Rookie Card with the P/C Back Exhibit as another possibility but not as definitively dated. Based on this info, I will go ahead and update the Foxx and Grove entries. Maybe Adam W. can provide a definitive date on the Foxx and Grove P/C Back Exhibits.

Tris Speaker (1908-09 Rose Company Postcards) is listed here as his rookie card. Has anyone ever seen copy of this postcard or know of the existence of one?

Both Bill Veeck and Satchel Paige appear in the Cleveland Indians team picture pack in 1948. Would you count these? I know these specific cards have been discussed here in a 2011 thread

Interesting that I've seen many threads and places mentioning this card but haven't ever seen one either. Is it a mistake or has someone actually seen it?

Another card I have always suspected was a Ted Williams rookie was the 1939-46 Exhibits "No. 9 shows." The pop reports would seem to indicate this card may well have been a one year only issue, with presumably a change to the more artistic "#9 not showing" thereafter. Maybe Adam would have some info here as well. Best regards, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 09-25-2011 at 12:41 AM. |
