Eric BI am disappointed that vintage cards collectors are concerned about finding the "rookie" cards of pre-war players. It was the main reason I was turned off by the shiny crap of the late 70's and early 80's when I was still young (although that turned out to be a good thing) and turned my attention to vintage baseball and eventually vintage non-sports.
It didn't make sense then and it doesn't now. Hell, it probably was a contributing factor that killed the hobby of new sets when everyone was expanding quantity to add players nobody ever heard of to get the player out first. I still can't fathom how a 1963 Rose rookie where he is on 1/4 the card is better than a 1964 or 1965(all other items such as scarcity being equal). I though we (you?) were better than that.
