I was just guessing as to what thier thinking was regarding designation of RC. I don't disagree with anything other than I think you should truly have 1 official RC of a player, regardless of how many products you throw out there per company.

RE: Topps Update rc's
My guess is that Puig and the others already have a designated chrome rookie card, in this case, in Topps Chrome. Those have the logo. The update chromes do not.

Actually the Chrome Update cards also have the RC logos. But you may be right about them already having Topps Chrome RCs, so Beckett wouldn't list the Update cards as RCs. That makes the most sense.
