Rookie cards from different years???
Just noticed that Craig Mitchell of the Oakland A's is featured on two rookie cards from different years...1976 Topps #591 and 1978 Topps #711. Is this odd, or are there other players with multiple rookie cards such as these???

Ron Cey in 1972 and 1973 and Dale Murphy in 1977 and 1978 come to mind.

And a weird thing to note…Gaylord Perry has his own card in 1962, but is pictured on a 4-player rookie card in 1963.

Rookie Card
I think Piniella has 4 with 4 different teams, and is there not a guy named Davis with at least 5.

Is this a decision made by the card company to sell more cards? Or was it based off of the MLB rules at the time?
I know, for example, that Greg Jefferies had 6 at bats in 1987, then finished 6th in the 1988 Rookie of the Year vote, and 3rd in the 1989 vote.

And Mickey Klutts. Three years in a row?
The "rookie" cards were done using players Topps thought would stick with the team after spring training. So if someone was almost making the big club they might be on a rookie card more than once. If I remember it right they didn't do multi player rookie cards in 62, so Perry got his own card. Then for 63 having only played 13 games he was still a prospect and got a 4 player card. Steve B

Bobby Murcer in '66 and '67, the latter one with Stan Bahnsen, who returned on another rookie card in '68.
