    Why so many different Rookie Cards....

    and how do you know what is the best rookie card to pick up .... for example Im intrested in purchasing a Malkin RC but I have no idea which one is the actual RC. Sorry if this has been asked before but im just getting back into collecting.

    Well typically a rookie card is a card that is labeled as that "Rookie" or "RC". Many sets of cards have subsets that are rookie card only... like for instance Upper Deck Series 1 has a popular set called Young Gunz those are all rookie cards.

    I know what a RC is, I was just asking how do you tell which Malkin is his "actual" RC?

    What I am trying to say is that there are multiple rookie cards.. there is not just one.

    so anyone i buy from his rookie year is considered his "rookie card"?
    or is there the "one" to get?

    The card will typically be labeled with the word Rookie on it.. here is a checklist for you to help in your search.

    SP = Short Print
    CL = Checklist (Edited, thanks for the correction.)
