Stan Musial Rookie Cards

[bk400]

Thanks, all, for the thorough discourse. H2oya's list of "Earliest" products is eye opening. My instinct for now is to stick with rookie cards, with "cards" defined in a way that Potter Stewart might. That probably leads me to the 1948 Bowman and, less realistically, the Propagandas.

I can see how going down the M113 or the 1942 route for the Stans would create massive mission creep for the rest of my collecting ambitions.

I think that's sensible. I've bought the occasional "pre rookie" or alternative rookie, but only in addition to the mainstream (Potter Stewart) rookie for all my postwar HOFers.
