When it comes to collecting rookie HOFers, I don't believe the controversy regarding which is the true rookie card is as big as advertised. I think it's perfectly fine to collect whatever one wants. For example, I know that the N300 is Kid Nichols rookie card. But I would much prefer to own the N172 and use that in my run. Cy Young's rookie card is unquestionably his Just So, but it is pointless to try and get one, so an E107 would have to do (go find one of those!). So it's okay to be flexible along the way.
