I pretty much fall on the line is that there is no such thing. It is largely a designation that was "contrived" after price manipulators/reporters gathered that collectors would pay "more" for some key players first cards. Then the manufacturers got in the game. Even "RC" card collectors can't decide among themselves what "it" is even though I think most define it in a way that would best fit their budget.
