I pretty much fall on the line is that there is no such thing. It is largely a designation that was "contrived" after price manipulators/reporters gathered that collectors would pay "more" for some key players first cards. Then the manufacturers got in the game. Even "RC" card collectors can't decide among themselves what "it" is even though I think most define it in a way that would best fit their budget.

I usually make the call on what is considered a players rookie based on what I have and what I can find/afford. Before I bought my 51 and 52 Mantles, his 53 topps was a rookie
