It turns out that hafey's rookie card hails from the middy bread die-cuts set, so scarce that i have never even seen one for sale or auction. If one did come up, i believe it would go for $1,000+ if in decent condition. For those who are budget conscious, would you be willing to spend that kind of money on a marginal hall of famer?
The true hard-core rookie card collector is going to say "yes", most everyone else will say "no".
