It seems like every other post on my Twitter feed lately involves people debating about whether or not the Bowman's Best Wander Franco is his TRUE ROOKIE CARD.
My gut reaction - and forgive me if this sounds crass and/or curmudgeonly - is WHO CARES? I really can't understand why people are spending large portions of their day thinking & arguing about this when there's so many other fun topics to be addressed in the card world. And not to mention when literally hundreds of thousands of other (and mostly better) cards out there begging for attention.
No Wanders in this week's giveaway, but I do have this sheet of Chicago Tribune oddballs up for grabs (note the corner damage to poor Henry Blanco) that's been sitting in the deepest depths of my closet for the last 13 years, as well as everything else below.

I agree about the Franco stuff on Twitter. What I don't get is if people are set builders, they'll want the card. If they are team collectors, they'll want the card. If they PC Franco, they'll want the card. So why does it matter what is his true rookie? It seems the only ones that would care is the ones trying to make money on the card, which most collectors don't care about.
6 - 9 Yelich Bowman Chrome
