Default HOF Cards That Pre-date RC

I'm interested in seeing cards / postcards featuring HOF players that pre-date the cards that are considered their rookie cards.

Derek - That's a great Sisler!

Peter - That Gossage displays one horrible hairdo.

...and I type that on the day we say goodbye and RIP to one Oscar Gamble.

That Sisler is so cool. Of course, I’m biased as a Wolverine.

Are you talking about Major League Rookie cards, such as the 1947 Bond Bread, or Minor League Pre-Rookie cards like all of the great Zeenuts that have been pictured?

I am pretty sure that this postcard was issued before the 1955 Topps high numbers came out which contains his traditional rookie card. This one is postmarked August 30, 1955, but I know that they were available in early July of that year.

Cards or postcards that feature HOF players in major league uniforms that pre-date "RC" cards. Thanks for helping me clerify.

People are probably tired of seeing it, but here is my 1908 Rose Co. postcard of WaJo again along with a Los Angeles Herald newspaper article from the winter of 1908 which pictures an example of this card.

c'mon Kevin - you know you want to re-share that Weiser Wonder WaJo! There is literally not a better card in the hobby, IMHO!

Thanks for props, but I think that the OP is just looking for Major League rookie cards.
