Also, as Brian said, it has not been updated in a while. For instance it still has Walter Johnson's rookie card as being the Novelty Cutlery postcard which they say is from 1907-09, while it is now pretty well accepted that this issue dates from 1910.
Here are two different lists that board member Phil Garry put together:

Thx Kevin for sharing Phil’s updated list. Regarding pre-1910 cards, there are still several inconsistencies such as the omission of W600s that were issued the SAME YEAR as the E107s, and in some cases, the W600s pre-date E107s during the 1903 calendar year (For example, the W600 Matty was issued in January 1903 vs. his E107 being released in the late Spring of 1903). In those instances, both cards should be listed. Also, the 1891 John H. Ryder Cy Young pre-dates the Just-So Tobacco, and is Cy Young’s true rookie card.
