Not sure what everyone else thinks, but I used to have his T207, and I considered that his rookie card.

I also consider the T207 Max Carey to be his true rookie card.
Thanks

T332 is 1 year older than the T207, so obviously is the rookie.

But all rookie card collectors have their own rules

Rule #1:

Collect baseball CARDS, not stamps!

I second that motion. How anyone could consider a stamp a Baseball card is beyond me. Stamps were issued as postage and not Baseball cards. That is like comparing Apples & Oranges.

ha ha

A T332 is just as much a card as a T330-2, W555, or a E254 or E286. It is made of paper, was issued in a package of tobacco, and has a baseball player pictured on it.

I guess the M101-2 Alexander or A.C.Dietsche Cobb arent rookies either?

Like I said...... the collector makes his own "Rookie" rules (usually corresponding to what they own).

Many things are considered cards that aren't technically cards. Saying that T332's aren't cards is obviously fitting one's own definition of a card. They are classified in the ACC so they are more of a card to me than many others....But if someone wants to say they aren't cards...that's their opinion and everyone is entitled to one...
