But to your quention, it's been asked a billion times over the last 25 yrs and I believe the answer goes like this:
Back in the mid 80s, traded/update sets were not as widely distributed as they were later that decade into the 90s.....yeah, I know.
Thank you for that answer. I agree with you... they should do away with XRC. When I search for player's RCs, I like to come here and type their name and RC in the search box and get a result set that shows all that players RCs. For those in the 80s that have XRCs, those cards don't show, so I have to do 2 searches to get all their RCs. Yet another reason I prefer to collect older stuff... everybody had 1 RC and there were no XRCs.
