    Rookie Designation

    Maybe this has been covered before but what is the general feeling out there regarding MLB's mandate of putting the rookie card logo on cards?
    I personally like it because you don't have to memorize players or carry around a baseball card alamanac. It was just to confusing before. How can a guy be a rookie, and not even have played in the big leagues? Am I crazy or what?

    Ron,
    If your talking baseball you might want to post this in the the baseball forums under BASEBALL CARD TALK. That way you might get some more input from the baseball guys. Glad you enjoying the site and see you around.

    i like it, i think it is helpful... and in other sports i like it too. i think it makes sense having a card labeled as rookie even if they have not played because of i think of a "rookie" card as just the player's first card for that brand.

    I like it, but I miss the days of Topps Traded and Bowman Draft sets where you could get RCs of all the year's draft picks. Prospecting is my favorite part of collecting.

    I guess what I am trying to say is that if they have no professional experience it should not be considered a rookie card.

    I can understand that, but shouldn't the first card made for a player be the rookie card? cuz if that player is in the minors, and a card is produced, by topps, and it's the first card for that player, w/o the RC logo, and that player makes it to the big leagues in a few years, and they then produce a RC of that guy AFTER a non-RC is produced....that would have many people confused, I think
