[Petrafire]

whats the best way to find out who
were all the rookies every year?

[LuuucnDino]

Basically, you have to hunt for the list on the web. I kept track on my own for 08/09 using the checklists at upperdeck.com and so did supercec at HI, who created a spreadsheet available at this link:

Beckett used to have it on their old website and I think they publish a list in the magazine. There might be a way to make a list with their new website, but I don't know.

I can post my lists if you need 'em.

[Petrafire]

well i pretty much need to know the rookies that do not have a young guns card since i have those allready players like Versteeg would you happen to know? thanks in advance
