A little help from the HOF rookie card collectors--should the 1893 Keeler cabinet in the current Mastro auction (Lot #2105) be considered Willie Keeler's rookie card? It is a single card of Keeler as a major leaguer with the Giants and predates the E107 by a full ten years. It is the same pose that Rusie takes for his Newsboy cabinet and makes one think that there was a planned Newsboy of Keeler which was never made or is yet to be discovered.
