I understand that you are trying to make it easier or more straightforward for modern collectors, but I do not think that many will consider Chance's 1909 T206 as being his rookie card. It was issued after he had already played 11 seasons in the Majors and was at the end of his career.

I know that you do not consider Chance's 1899 M101-1 Sporting News as being a card, but what about this W600 Sporting Life?
