I know this has been discussed before, but I could not locate any of the older treads though I really tried.

I want to know the best rookie card for the players below. Sometimes there are two rookies in which collectors will covet such as the 1988 Fleer Glossy and the 1988 Score Glossy cards of Tom Glavine. Both are equally as coveted and one can argue which one is better, but both should be had.


Ivan Rodriguez

Mike Mussina

Chipper Jones

Barry Sanders

Troy Aikman



I will add more to the list later.....

    If I had to guess, it'd be....


    Ivan Rodriguez = 1991 Topps Traded Tiffany
    Mike Mussina = 1991 Ultra Update
    Chipper Jones = 1991 Topps Desert Shield
    Barry Sanders = 1989 Score
    Troy Aikman = 1989 Score


    Also, in terms of price, the 1988 Score glossy Tom Glavine beats out all his other rookie cards easily.

    I'm not much help with the baseball, but digicat was right for '89 Score being Aikman and Sanders' best rookie cards

    Besides the 1991 Topps Desert Shield card of Chipper Jones, what other rookie card does he have that is close to being his best. I heard there was another one.

    I think his best mainstream rookie is '91 Bowman. And Pudge is Ultra Update, for those who don't go the Tiffany route.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. 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."

    He has a 1991 Topps Tiffany version. The SMR has it at $75 for PSA 9, $325 for PSA 10.

    The Desert Shield one has a much higher price tag. SMR says $200 for PSA 9, $825 for PSA 10.

    Joe Torre - 1962 Topps

    Mike Mussina - 1991 Leaf Gold Rookies (#276 on back) -- truly rare card, $60 raw

    Andre Dawson - 1977 Topps (although the '77 Redpath Sugar Expos is my personal favorite)

    I found on ebay a Pedro Martinez 1991 Upper Deck Final Edition. Just wanted to know if this was his best rookie card or is there another one out there.

    It's his only RC
    but UD made a billion of them
    You'd be better off with either his 92 gold leaf rookie or his 92 Bowman
