The Cy Young Rookie collection
Cy Young Winners, that is. I've been putting this together over the past year, and finally completed this week. Seeing as how there aren't many people in my every day life who would be particularly interested in seeing the collected work, I thought I'd share it here. I realize that a lot of these cards don't really fit into the "pre-1980" bucket of this part of the forum, but since the award started in '56, I'm going with it. Also - I don't really know (or care) what a true "rookie" card is these days, so as long as a card seems like a prospect or a first year card, I'm cool with it. The rules have gotten way too complex with modern cards.
 Without further ado, here are the results of my project.

It's interesting how among the all time greats, there are quite a few guys who just had one off seasons and who had otherwise average careers.

Great collection! I was thinking of doing something similar. My idea was to collect the card of the year they won the award. Probably a lot cheaper of an undertaking than your collection. Nice cards!

From the time I'd first heard of this goal, I was excited to see it come together. Really amazing, and had no idea the cards themselves would be so nice.
And while most of us are Pre-1980 guys in this forum, who won't score you bonus points for navigating the complex landscape of rookie cards for the more modern players! I might not even be shocked if you told me the most expensive RCs there weren't Koufax/Seaver/Gibson/Spahan but one of these newer ones. Congratulations! Great job getting this done.
