Rookie cards? Not for me
One could make arguement "rookie" cards are worth it. To me they are not worth it. Who ever made up the rule that the rookie card is worth the significant added price premium? A lot of collectors, however, subscribe to that thought. Pre-War rookie cards won't get my money. And post War rookie cards won't get my money.
I have a gorgeous run of Aaron cards, minus the rookie. I will never pay the price for the 1954 rookie. For just about every other Aaron card, the Mays card is prices pretty much equivalent. But the 1954 Aaron is 4 times what the Mays is for the 1954 card ??? The pop numbers do not show the Aaron is that more rare than the Mays - its TOTALLY "Rookie Hype" with the herd mentality. For my $4,000.00 plus, I would rather have a T206 Cobb PSA 6 or similar.
Let the other guy shell out $4.+ grand for the rookie, not I.
