J.T. Snow's "key" rookie?

His first year for cards was in 1993. It seems like his "best" overall card would be his 1993 Finest Refractor. How about his best base card? 1993 SP or 1993 Finest?

I like his Finest card. It was a cool gesture for the Giants to sign him to a one day contract so he can end his career a Giant. He got paid $2100 just for the day.

I liked it too. It also served another function: Immortalizing Snow's contributions to the team on the newly unveiled SF Giants Wall of Fame.

There are only 2 qualifications necessarily to be on the wall:

5 years on the team with at least 1 All Star selection
OR
10 years with the team

J.T. had 9 years prior to 2008. This gives him his 10th.

I would say it always was the 93 Finest. Now that you bring it up though, was his SP RC one of the foil cards?

No, unfortunatly it wasn't.

I didn't think it was, but for the life of me I can't remember what the SP RC looks like. In that case, I don't think there is any question that the Finest should be the key card.

I guess you are working on a set of Giants RCs?

I bet there are not 5 collectors who care what J.T. Snow's best card is. In any event why does it matter what other people think? Just collect the cards you want.

What does it matter? Not much, but I like to collect some input every now and then. Besides, how else would I find the other 4 people who care about what J.T. Snow's best card is?

FWIW, my point was not that you collect J.T. Snow cards-lots of us have players we like for various reasons. I just find it odd that you care about what other people think of his cards.

Ok, you got me. I can't defend the asking of the question.

J.T. Snow's &quot;key&quot; rookie?
