When I started collecting around age 9, rookie card and first card would have been synonymous in my head. I’m wondering if its possible the reason for the distinction has something to do with not including too many rare or relatively rare first cards in registry sets. Red Grange is a good example from football cards - there are lots of cards that predate his '33 Goudey Sports Kings rookie.
