Gehrig "rookie"
Knowing how contentious defining "pre-war rookies" can be, let's not lose sight of what a great card/auto HOF Auto Rookies has added to his collection. I can't imagine how excited he must have been to get the card, admire it for a few minutes then scan it so he could share it with all of us. Considering his collecting goals, the quality of the acquisition and the hefty sum of money he likely paid, I'd like to think we could allow him at least a few hours to bask in some hearty "congratulations" and "nice pick-up" rather than launching right in to the "hey, that's not his rookie." We're all better than that...
Enjoy the Gehrig...GREAT card the likes of which I doubt I'll ever be able to add to my collection...Matt
