Comprehensive Major Player Rookie list

[fadster]

It's been mentioned a couple of times in the past but I thought I'd create a comprehensive rookie list of all major players going all the way back. With so many new collectors it can hopefully be a useful resource. I'll split it into 3 posts, a master list of everyone by alphabetical order, a chronological list of retired players and a chronological list of active players. I've added a colour code to point out interesting cards

Grail cards = Incredibly rare cards, in some cases too rare to be "the card", not necessarily the most value either
Iconic Grail cards = Incredibly rare but still an iconic card in the hobby.
Icon = The iconic rookie for this player

There is also a key for release format:

t = trading card - eg 2004 Mecagracks Messi
s = sticker - eg Panini Foot 92 Zidane
h = card / sticker hybrid, card stock meant to be stuck in an album - eg Bergmann 65/66 Beckenbauer
c = cigarette card, including post war printed on boxes and slides - eg 1901 Ogdens Meredith
tr = trade card, eg given away with any non-tobacco product like sweets, chocolate, soap, petrol - eg 64/65 Barratt A12 George Best
p = publications and periodicals eg given away with a magazine, newspaper or comic, etc - eg 1994 Mundo Deportivo Ronaldo
tcg = trading card game - eg 2006/07 Panini Coca Cola Championship Gareth Bale

A word about dates. A few older releases have unclear dates, especially with the cigarette cards. Also note there is a difference between season dating across in the world, western Europe has a season that goes across two calendar years, typically August one year to May the next. Often in South America the season will be entirely encompassed by the calendar year. That's why you will often see different dating conventions used, eg a 1999 Ronaldinho rookie rather than 1998-99 or 1999-2000. I will also do the same with releases issued for international tournaments.

A word about naming. If a player is commonly known by a single name, eg Pele, I've used that name for the alphabetical order. I'm going to use a western / Anglo naming convention so I won't ignore the surname prefixes like Van, Del, Di, De, eg Marco Van Basten will be under V not B.

The alphabetical list will be updated first, many more players still to be added, along with more releases for those already here!

Amazing list, thank you very much. Maybe we can add the most popular younger player list too.

[bloomie6]

Great list- Spot on!

[DS1991]

Thanks for the information. I appreciate your work!

[Nobody0211]

Great list, Fadster!

[GoCardsSg]

How about Roy Keane from 90-91 Pro Set?
He signed for Nottingham Forest in the same 90-91 season, turning pro as a result. His previous Irish club was a semi-pro outfit, so that 90-91 Pro Set card of him in Forest colours would be a rookie card in the truest sense of the word.

Yep, that's one in my to add list, i'll be doing another chunk this evening hopefully.

[peterose4hof]

Amazing work!

[mfw13]

Thanks for the list....I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of Bobby Charlton RC's sitting around somewhere that were part of a lot of 1958 A&BC cards I bought on EBay years ago.

[brewtown107]

Great idea for a thread. Thanks for posting this!

[Anish]

Great job so far!

I’d note that Xavi has several RC’s: Este, Panini Liga 98-99, and Panini Futbol 99, etc. I think Panini Futbol is the best one.

You could also add
Fernando Torres 2002 Megacracks, Megafichas, Mundicromo, Este, etc
David Villa 2003 Megafichas, Este
David Silva 2004 Mundicromo
Santi Cazorla 2004 Mundicromo
Sergio Aguero 2005 Panini Futbol Argentino
Bernardo Silva 2014 Panini Foot, Panini Football League
Etc...

Etc...

Thanks, I'm planning on adding some of those on the next update

Great list, well done to all who have contributed.

Cantona panini foot 86

Shearer 1990 pro set

Roger Milla panini foot 79

David Ginola panini foot 87



Not that it really matters, but is that Bruno Metsus rookie too on the Roger Millar 79?

Love this, been think about something similar for years.
Ideally with photos, and maybe some table, where for each player, you could see different options:
-true rookie 'item' (first collectors item ever. card, stcker, pog, calendar...)
-true rookie card (first ~2.5'x3.5' card; there might have been sticker ago, but some people ignore those)
-first sticker
-items from rookie season (any card, sticker from the season/year when the true rookie item appeared)
-other (for example Cruyff's true rookie item is postcards, released months before palirex 'card', Or Zidane is shown on france telephone card on a team photo of Cannes footbal team. Backham's true rookie item was a small sticker form a magazine 'Match'. Some people might prefer this)


On the other note:
-Laszlo Kubala (Barcelona's player of the century; there is only one statue in front of Camp Nou and it belongs to this legend) - rookie is Naninna 1947 (same set as Puskas)
-Fati is missing yet, right?

Great idea.
My suggestion for better clarity would be to out all names together in one list in the first post organized A-Z

I never knew Modric had another rookie, other than 2008 Euro. Now I NEED to find his 05-06 Murano Nogomet rookie. I have no idea what this even looks like.

Hopefully this great thread will quickly become a teamwork website with pictures for each. That would boost immensely the interest in soccer cards (rookies but not only): an easily accessible resource, with generally accepted rookie cards to serve as a reference for the market.
I also think there are enough knowledgeable collectors now to agree by consensus on these lists.
If that happen, count me in to contribute.
I'm starting to grow my rookie PC nicely.

few German legends to add to the list would be:

Josef "Jupp" Heynckes 1965-66 Bergmann, Sicker Verlag
Uwe Seeler 1965-66 Bergmann, Sicker Verlag
Josef "Sepp Maier" 1965-66 Bergmann, Sicker Verlag

Thank you for the picture. I’ve never seen this before, but now it’s my quest to find 1 available.

Wow thanks for posting a picture of the Modric, I had never actually seen one either. I've come across team cards from his pre-Spurs days but no cards or stickers.

About to do another update this afternoon, thanks for all the suggestions. Would it be easier then if instead of one list for retired and one active I just had one list of everyone alphabetically and one list of everyone chronologically?
