Grover Cleveland Alexander Rookies
I would like to get a concensus of opinion on what everyone thinks Grover Cleveland Alexander's Rookie (notice I did not say Rookie Card) should be amongst the above four options

A concensus may be tough here Phil.
Good luck!

I voted for the Supplement. I understand how that's not a traditional card, nor are the silks and leathers. But it sure seems to me that the 1913 card is a card; whatever distinguishes it from the Cracker Jack eludes me...

I agree a game card is still that, a card. I'm not voting because I'm torn between the supplement or the game card. I can see the argument against the supplement and silks as they are not really cards but the game card is card, imo.
That being said I'd still rather have a cracker jack or fatima, but that doesn't make it his rookie. Sort of like the 1952 Mantle. It may be his best and most sought after card, but that doesn't make it a rookie.

Looks like the concensus here is the M101-2 as the true Rookie for GCA. I'm kind of surprised that the "card" definition collectors opted more for the 1914 cards than the 1913 cards which were obviously all standard-size traditional cards. I guess the mainstream, nationally distributed thing came into play there.
