John Kalafarski I wonder who first came up with the idea that a rookie card is something special? A rookie card should be issued in the same year a player makes his debut in the major leagues. Stan Musial came to the Cards in 1941 (12 games) and 1942 (140 games), yet his rookie card is thought of as the 1948 Bowman. This is meaningless. It's his first card, not his rookie card.
