Default Speaking of Harry Hooper, what is his "rookie?"

Posted By: Tom Lawrie 

Is it a Colgan's Chips (1909-11)? If so, is it the E254 or E270?

Or is it a Sweet Cap Pin (1910)? (Do those count if you can squeeze them into a top loader or if you could talk one of the legit. grading companies into slabbing one in their deep holders designed for thick modern insert cards?)

I can't answer your card question, but can (and will, dammit!) perform some shameless self-promotion. I just a couple of days ago redesigned the cycleback.com front page with a great image of Hooper (George Bain Photo)

Posted By: Andy Baran

I would consider his 1910 M116 Sporting Life card to be his "rookie card" for the following reasons:

* I personally don't consider Colgans to be cards because they are round. It goes to my personal theory that if it doesn't feel like a card, then it isn't one.

* Pins are definitly not cards

* His E91 doesn't actually picture him

* I don't consider E125 Die Cuts to be cards either for the same reason as mentioned above

Just because I don't consider these items to be cards doesn't mean that I don't think that they are all extremely cool. I'm not trying to start an argument about what is a card and what isn't, I'm just stating my opinion. Anyone is welcome to disagree.

With that being said, I consider his M116 to be his first traditional card that was issued.

I think you have it right. But I was curious to see what people thought of Colgan's and S.C. Pins.
