Yeah, go back and find some old Beckett price guides from a few decades back, or maybe Tuff Stuffs, or some other old price guides/books, and you'll see how Ruth's rookie was considered by some as his '33 Goudey cards. Was the same thing with that 48-49 Leaf set listing a ton of rookie cards for players that had been on many different issues years earlier, like the reference made to Feller's cards form the '30s.
