The emperor has no clothes over there in their designations.
For me personally, I consider the first card issued in a major league uni the RC and agree fully that includes the Star sets, the 86' Fleer is years away from being a RC and easily the most overvalued and over hyped card in the hobby other than the 2nd year 1952 Mantle which is first place hands down.
I know that not everyone has the same thoughts nor do I expect them to. These are my thoughts and beliefs and I would personally never call either a rookie. |
I would call McGwire a RC because it's in a Topps set, I don't care about the ML uniform thing.
Agreed on 101 vs 57.
