If you are going to collect rookie HOF'ers, Pre-War, you need to have a personal definition of "what" constitutes a rookie card? I would say the very first hurdle should be to ask yourself if a pre-major league card is a rookie? There is no definitive answer. We have discussed it a million times. You might even go as far as to say either a "first card" or a "first major league" card. There are many HOF'ers whos first card is a minor league one....especially for many that were in the Zeenut series. Do searches on this board for great discussions on the topic, and think about it...come up with what you are comfortable with...then make a list of the cards you will go for. Some will probably be out of reach financially, or completely unattainable, so 2nd choices will be good too....welcome to the board and Good luck in the hunt....regards
