I'm in the camp that considers this Bob Feller's rookie card - at least the mainstream one.
For some reason, your card (#288), which has the writing and cartoon drawings, sells for a premium when compared to its #264 counterpart. I've never understood why.
I guess people automatically assume that it is the rarer card, because it has the higher number. Or, maybe people value the writing and cartoon drawings and place a premium on it.
Believe it or not, card number 264 is actually the rarer one - at least according to population reports. It's been graded far fewer times than the 288 card.
