Mr Larry Doby
I count Larry Doby's 1947 Cleveland Indians Picture Pack photo as his true rookie card, or "earliest collectible" is probably a better way to say it. As much as I like the 1949 Bowman and 1949 Leaf cards, those came out 2yrs later! Really hard to argue with that.

team issued rookie cards
So this was a topic of conversation in another forum.
I brought attention to the Russian pro hockey league which featured standard size hockey cards with Alex Ovechkin. To me, this was easily in every definition of rookie card. While other players have debuted in leagues outside the big 4 - Warren Moon in the CFL and other like Jim Kelly and Reggie White in the USFL. The point best presented here, is collect what you like.

A few alternative hockey rookie issues. The Roy is a year before his Topps/OPC.

And a Gretzky alternative, not to mention one of the Russian Ovechkins mentioned above (although I think this is from a subset).
