  Incredible how many of these cards you have in your collection! Excellent ballot…agree it should just be the 83 Topps Gwynn. Let’s not get too cute with O-Pee-Chee

  It warms my heart to listen to a Yankees fan speak so passionately about including a Braves player in the YouTube Sportscard HOF--and I'd be inclined to go with the regular (short-print) bat-down card rather than the sapphire (though it is gorgeous).

  Wow you have an insane collection I can't believe how many cards on this list that you have in your collection. I only have 11 for now. Yeah how is the 83 Gwynn not in yet and the 64 Rose?

  As a Mattingly fan, if you had to pick only 1 card, Topps or Donruss?

  "Usually considered to be Joe Dimaggio's rookie".  I was curious why none of Dimaggio's earlier cards is considered his rookie.  So I went back to the Midlife's video and then to Ray from Philly's induction video.  I did not hear those videos actually comment on whether the 1938 Goudey Heads Up is Dimaggio's rookie.  I did see Victor, the rookie card specialist on Ray's video and I reread his 10 rookie card commandments.  One of Victor's commandment's is that cards are "nationally issued" with his focus being on ruling out cards that were issued in only one region of the United States (which I think would actually include many or most T206 issues).  But here is my real question.  Are we saying Joe Dimaggio's 1936 WWG V355 and 1937 OPC V300 are not rookies because they were issued in Canada?  By extension, Pele's and Lionel Messi's rookies would be there first U.S. issues when they played in the NASL and MLS, respectively?  And Cuban Negro League baseball cards cannot be rookies?  I know Beckett used to take this position and state in it's "Rookie Card Encyclopedia" that, to be a rookie, a card must have been issued in the U.S. and that Victor draws a lot of his commandments from Beckett.  Beckett also said there were no rookie cards made prior to 1933 Goudey so they are/were a little extreme.  So is Dimaggio's rookie his 1936 WWG V355 or 1938 Goudey Heads Up?
