R312 and R314 are in the American Card Catalog. They count. The WWG card is awesome (when unaltered) but is Canadian, so no dice, eh. The Zeenuts are my favorites but they are pre-rookies.

For me, it's between the two 1936 issues, as the Zeenuts were PCL (minor League) cards.
The 1936 World-Wide Gum cards were issued in Canada. How were people in say, Virginia or Missouri supposed to get them at the time? The 1936 R312 Issue was issued in the United States, but it is a "Premium" issue (not normal cards). Still, they were available to baseball fans in the US. So, you have a quandary. I vote for the R312 issue being Joe's RC, as it is a US issue, and was available for baseball fans in the US to purchase. Steve

I really like this one!
I would say any 1936 issue can be called a rookie card, with zeenuts being pre rookie/ minor league issues ( and awesome!)

Any of the 1936 issues that are "cards". The Zeenuts are pre-rookies as mentioned previously and anything after 1936 is too late. The R312 is the one most on the fence. Size-wise it's pretty close to the max as far as what I would consider for "rookie card" status, still a little bit smaller than a cabinet card size such as W600's so I could live with it as being a DiMaggio rookie card.

I don’t own any DiMaggio cards. But if/when I do, it will be the Zeenut batting followed right behind by Zeenut throwing. Those are minor league cards, so by definition they cannot be rookie cards. But in my opinion, they are the cards to own

Not a rookie, but my favorite, and not often found.

I agree. In some instances I prefer a pre-rookie to the first card in a major league uniform. Ryan, when you do go with DiMaggio, look into the 1935 Pebble Beach. I personally think that’s the best DiMaggio card out there. Super rare, great image, and they are all autographed!

A player can have more than one rookie cards. The R312, WWG and National Chicles are all rookies! 1939 Play Ball a rookie? Not even close.
