DOH!!

You're right Jay my bad. We're up at our cabin for the week so I'm OJ Bibleless.

Kevin- I'm guessing he's going to say it's bc KC wasn't considered a ML team. I guess same would apply to Nichols Omaha vs when he finally showed up in Boston in 1890.

KC was in the American Association in 1888 and 1889, which has always been considered a Major League team AFAIK. Between 1884 and 1890, the Champions from the American Association would play against the Champions of the National League in an early version of the World Series.

Omaha was a Minor League team that was part of the Western Association.

Interesting point Kevin. I've always considered a rookie card to be the first NL or AL card, but if it is any major league then I guess the KC cards would count.

Let me just say that as someone who has only begun to dabble in Old Judge’s (thanks again for that Tip O’Neill, Jay), just observing this conversation is invaluable to me. Love learning from the experts on this site.

Does anybody have access to VCP to check how many of each HOFers have been sold in the past 5 years?
