You may as well tell us your name too.

I wish everyone would add their name to their avatar so we could converse more effectively...or, at least, more traditionally.

Good luck on your quest! You might say I have a slight infatuation with HOF rookie cards as well...take a look at my imageevent site. I generally prefer the esoteric issues over the mainstream Topps/Bowman/Goudey/T206 issues.

Welcome aboard the board! Always happy to chat "rookie" card stuff with other Net54 members!

Welcome to the forum,
I started out going for Rookie HOFer's when I got back into collecting, as an adult, 20 yrs ago. I wish I would have kept those cards. Type card collecting has been a ton of fun but I still like some of those cards from back then...

I appreciate everyone's kind words so far. I have three new additions to share.

First is a Marichal SGC authentic rookie that I picked up for $20. This looks to be in amazing shape, but is it safe to assume that this is trimmed/altered if in an authentic holder? I would prefer not to bust it out just because I like the case.


Then a Rice rookie that a net54 member sent me for free to help with my quest


And then I picked up this Greenberg at my last show for $20. Not a rookie - but this counts for me since his stuff is fairly expensive.

Nice cards and yes, Marichal looks like he has a wavy left border and is trimmed. Just wait till you really start seeing and dealing with the old pre-war stuff. After discovering the OldCardboard site it is all downhill.
