Yes, I did not want to get into the whole "rookie card" thing, but the 1908 Rose Co. postcard was definitely the first "card" of Johnson in the Major Leagues.

Which version of the Weiser? If you are talking about the earliest, the 1907 RPPC version, then that was surely made when before he made it to the Major Leagues and would be considered a pre-rookie - kind of like the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth or 1934 Zeenut DiMaggio.

I know its not a rookie, not considered a pc though?
