There is some debate over which famous trading card of Babe Ruth should be considered his rookie card.
The first option is a 1914 Baltimore News card, which was issued when Ruth was a part of the Baltimore Orioles' minor league system.

That first card recently sold for $7.2 million. The second is heading to auction on Nov.
