JT Realmuto HOF'er?

I don't follow your point? If his RC is in 2014 you wouldn't expect his 2015 cards to be designated RCs?

I believe Topps marks rookies only considering other Topps cards and nobody else; they don’t care if Panini or Upper Deck or whoever makes a card first. Thus, it’s an error.

I thought MLB determined the criteria for the RC logo. What Topps cards are designated RC where another manufacturer printed one with an RC logo in an earlier year? I can't think of any player with cards from different years both with the logo. Or are you saying only Topps is allowed to use an official logo?

No. I said that when Topps applies the logo, meeting the MLB rules that it comes after a players first game, they apply it to the players first year Topps cards. I don’t think they track if a player appeared in Panini or Upper Deck Goodwin or whatever first. Thus, the poster is highlighting the oddity. That’s it.

So the Donruss 2014 logo does not meet the criteria? OHHHH, I see now, it's not an official logo on the Donruss. LOL. They just made up their own. OK I think I see the issue now.

In my defense, Tim's post was not a model of clarity.

Editing since it was edited and isn’t relevant now.

Are there other post-official logo cards with an unofficial logo?
