A grade on a hand cut card, which is indicative in large part only of how cleanly someone was able to cut it from the full panel, is not all that meaningful to me. Sure it doesn't have the characteristic abrasion on the back which so many do have and that accounts for a lot of minty looking 4s, but still. I'd rather have the panel. Oh wait, I do have it, although not in high grade. As to the rookie card question, I do agree with Adam that it is his rookie.
