Another spitball...
The 88 cards were both late-season Traded sets, not regular issues. Kind of like the 84 Fleer Update Puckett is a rookie card, but also the 85 Topps, Fleer, and and Donruss are considered rookie cards as well (by PSA and collectors). Same goes for Clemens. Cal Ripken has two Topps rookie cards. In the same manner, the 82 Topps Traded should then not be counted as a rookie as it was a late season set.
