Thanks Jorge. I think you've analyzed this subject more than anyone, since you have helped Sergio build his collection over the last few years. And I think it's an area that by definition there will always be differences of opinion.

Take the Just So of Cy Young, to give another example. It was clearly a regional issue distributed in close proximity to Cleveland, but it's a card that any vintage collector would dream of owning. And no matter who that may be, isn't a certainty that he would deem it Young's rookie? I think a lot of the debate hinges to a great deal on whether a collector owns a rare card or not. If you have an M101-5 of Ruth, you are likely to call that the rookie. If you are fortunate to own a Baltimore News, you're going to call that the rookie. It's human nature.
