Likely HOFer without a rookie card
I may have posted this some time back but it continues to bother me as a HOF collector.
Everyone has to have at least one rookie card by default, right? Wrong.
Carlos Beltran had a HOF career and despite his involvement in scandal likely will eventually be voted in. But his rookie card depicts another player, one Juan Lebron. Seems Topps mixed these two young Latin prospects up, as Lebron's card depicts .. wait for it … Beltran.
To me, it's hard to call either a RC. I mean who the hell wants a rookie card depicting another player, or a card depicting a player but with someone else's name.
You can't make this up. So what's a collector to do?
