Question: Are 1990 Bowman/Topps Tiffany rookies true RCs?

Score chrome, aka score platinum wasn't available in packs. Basically they were chrome looking parallels of the base score cards that were offered via redemption on a team by team basis. I can't remember for the life of me what you needed to get a set. Somewhere around here I have the pens and flyers.

By the long accepted definetion of a "true rookie card", those Schwartz parallels are not rookie cards. They're parallels.

That doesn't mean they're not more valuable than the rookie /999. I would suspect they sell for a much higher premium becuase they're more limited.

"Rookie Card" does not mean "Best", "Most Desirable", or "Valuable".

So just curious, by old school ideals, my Artifacts Jaden Schwartz emerald/99 and saphire/85 are parallels and in theory not as valuable as the true rc # out of 999? I say theory as today's market seems to say otherwise as pwaldo mentions. It would be cool to have a rare Belfour or Sakic rc etc...

You had to collect the entire team in gold and mail it in to get the platinum. I had the Kings but never got around to sending it in (I think the Gretzky books at $300 or something crazy like that now lol) ooops

I see the Tiffany as a seperate set. (Like OPC and OPC Chrome from the late 90's) therefor the cards would be rookies

As explained below. Not many of those sets out there obey either unless they sent some out the back door. A print of another set we can only guess.

300 for the Gretzky? Dammit the ONE thing score makes that ends up being worth money and I didn't gobble them up lol
