They have very similar value, deserving hall of famers but hardly at the top end. I’d rate them about evenly. Too much is said about Doby’s debut date and race and not enough about his 140 OPS+. Man was a fine hitter, just a shame he didn’t get into more games.

Minnie’s value is in being a rookie and spiking on just being elected last week. It will calm down.

Personally, I think his Bowman is his actual rookie. I know they both are because they are from the same year, but Topps 4th series is significantly after Bowman’s first series. His Bowman is his first. His muddier looking, cream border version of the Bowman is probably his true first major league card.

When a player has multiple same year issues (and Minoso also is in Red Man that year), I don't think the market has ever differentiated in terms of which one came out first in valuing rookie cards.

Hence why I prefaced the statement with “Personally” and said they both are because of this fact, to start my statement.

Doby's 1947 Cleveland Indians picture pack is his first MLB piece, followed by the 1948 picture pack and TI postcard.
