2. Hall of Famer Stan Musial did not have a regular issue Topps card until 1958?

Though Musial was a rookie in 1949, he did not sign a contract with Topps until 1957, and was only included as an All-Star card in the hi-series of 1958.

3. Mickey Mantle's rookie is from 1952 Topps.

Answer: False

Mantle's rookie is actually from 1951 Bowman, though the 52 Topps is worth far more and more desired.

4. According to Beckett's, can Exhibit cards be considered rookies?

Answer: Yes

According to Beckett's "Vintage" magazine, Exhibit cards can be considered rookie cards because they were nationally issued and printed on card stock.

5. A hall of famer has been pictured in a wheelchair on a regular issue Topps card?

Answer: Yes

Hall of Famer Roy Campanella is pictured in his wheelchair on a regular issued card titled "Portraits in Courage". It is card #550 from 1959. Campy was injured in a car accident in 1958, and was secluded to a wheelchair the rest of his life.

7. What was the most valuable card on the market in 2003 for White Sox great, Shoeless Joe Jackson?

Answer: 1914 E145-1 Cracker Jack

Though this is not his rookie, it is the most valuable card of him mostly due to its rareness and it's hard to maintain red background. As in all ballcards, the most important factor is condition.

Answer: 1938 Goudey Heads Up - R323

This unusual issue features the players pictured faces on oversized cartoon bodies.
