HOF signed rookies question
Since signed HOF rookies are the craze- I was wondering the following
I am curious why for instance if someone made it in as a manager- say Sparky why don't we consider his first manager card as a rookie instead of the 1959 topps?
Same with Torre, LaRussa, Stengel, etc etc.
Also for someone more current say Frank Thomas would you consider his first card like his first minor league card or team usa card a rookie or what about if say a topps card comes out of him as a "rookie preview" or top prospect but he hasn't even made it to the majors yet? I know there isn't 100% agreement but what do the majority say?
