Judge Dred (Fred)Eric,
My sentiments exactly. That stuff really turned me off in the 80s.
I guess it could be fun or interesting to own the "first" published card of a player, but when it comes to pre-war cards all I want is to have a certain player's card and it doesn't really matter to me whether it's the "first" or not.
Every once in a while there will be threads that debate which is a players first/rookie card then there will be other threads that will define "what is a card" and that a certain piece of material is not a CARD for some reason or other therefore raising the ire of the owner of said "material that is not the players first/rookie card". I guess it's all good though because a lot of interesting thoughts and information comes from those threads.
