I don't want to hijack the thread, but I don't care about a card being a rookie unless I am selling it. I really don't get the craze of owing someone's "first" card over owning their second. Apparently many other's agree since they would rather own Mantle's 52 topps over his 51 bowman.
Back to the subject though. I don't see how it matters in THIS case the picture of a significant person in baseball history is important to the hobby no matter if it is called a "card" or not. If you must have a "rookie" of Harry Wright then I assume it depends on if you own this piece or not.
