but it is paper thin...so I guess it's not technically a "card". It needs to meet both criteria. It does have the benefit of being listed in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, so maybe that should be the criteria.

That said, I'd love to have the NCP of Wagner. Call me crazy, but I'd take the NCP over his E107 or W600 based on my definition and pursuit of each HOFer's "earliest collectible".

1914-15 Cracker Jacks are paper thin. Are they not cards?

Bottom line is that the hobby does not accept supplements as cards and, therefore, that is not Lajoie’s rookie card and will not sell for anything close to what Lajoie’s accepted rookie cards sells for. PuckPaul, you are doing a noble job trying to promote your supplement, likely in an attempt to increase value, but it is not treated as Lajoie’s rookie card. At least for now, your Lajoie supplement will continue to sell for a fraction of what the W600 Type 1 (green and traditional) and e107 Lajoies sell for. Sorry. Puff all you want, but whether you like it or not (and regardless of what I think), them’s the facts.
