Let's really "re-hash" the ROOKIE debate.

Posted By: Steve M.

"Rookie" to me is the first card of a player after or at the time he became a major league player. Minor league depictions are not "rookie". Ideally the card should depict the player in a major league uniform.

Players depicted, singly, on a postcard are cards. Team postcards are not. So, PC796 Sepia would be a card. Pinkertons are cards. W601 Sporting Life is not a card. Supplements, whether single player or not, are not a card.

A more satisfactory way for me to collect, if I were so inclined, would be "first" card rather than "rookie" cards.
