Maybe I'm missing something here, but to be a "rookie" card, wouldn't it have to be issued
when the player was...a rookie? Otherwise, it's just a "first card."

(Of course, then you could end up with the Lou Piniella situation, where he was on Topps Rookie Stars cards in four separate years, with four different teams--including two he never actually played for.)
