    Mike,

    The "what constitutes a rookie card" issue will be debated forever.

    Following is a link to a great discussion on Net54 that includes an exceptional list of the rookie cards of hall of famers.

    Enjoy!

    I would consider neither Foxx's rookie card.

    I am not an expert on cards from this era, but 1932 would be the earlier card even if not issued until 1933.

    I like the Old Cardboard list for pre-war cards because it generally lists the first five. It’s nice to have options since there are lots of debates about what is a “card” and what is a “rookie” in the pre-war space, and many of the early cards are very rare or very expensive or both.

    I think that being a multi-sport set as well as having limited distribution would be two factors against any card being a true rookie card in the US Caramel set.

    IMO, limited distribution should have nothing to do with it.

    Foxx's RC is the Exhibit PC back, the W560 or the R315.

    Why would being part of a multi sport set disqualify a card from being a rookie card? There are a ton of great athletes who have rookie cards in multi sport sets.

    Which baseball players have their true rookie card recognized as part of a multi-sport set?

    Tony Lazzeri, Paul Waner and Mickey Cochrane (1925 Spalding Champions).

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
