Exactly! Which is why I wrote the hobby consensus is that it must be made of cardboard and I understand it entirely.
Even if PSA slabbed the the M101s or NCPs, it might increase their value but they would never realize what the more traditionally accepted rookies are of some of these players.
Not that one's budget should be a factor in defining a rookie card but for many in the hobby who cannot afford some of the traditional rookies, having a broader definition of "rookie card" might be necessary.
