How many major league players are in the major leagues but have zero rookie cards? I think I found one: Greg Garcia formally of the Cardinals now of the Padres. Unless i'm missing something, he has no rookie cards. Is there anybody else?

How many players
|
There were 7 who played for the Brewers this year alone with only minor league or Bowman prospect cards:
J.P Feyereisen Eric Yardley Mark Mathias Angel Perdomo Drew Rasmussen Justin Topa Phil Bickford
Collecting Robin Yount, Brewers Topps parallels, Brewers autos and Jonathan Lucroy in a Brewers uni.
Lucroy Brewers Collection : 589/596 non 1/1's (98.8%) and 65 1/1's 
I bet there's a ton more ... I know guys like Jo Adell and Casey Mize made their debuts this year but are being held for 2021 Topps Series 1.
Greg Garcia has been in the major leagues for about six years and has zero rookie cards.

RE: How many players
I would have to assume his first Topps card (2018) would be his rookie card, regardless of whether or not it has the RC logo or is listed as a RC in the Beckett database. While working on my Brewers RC project, I have found many players whose first major issue cards have not been given either designation.

They are just as guilty of not putting it on the cards that they should. For example, from 2012 to 2019, I have found 15 first issue Topps cards that don't have the logo. And that is just for former Brewers. Carlos Corporan in 2012 Marco Estrada in 2012 Tim Dillard 2012 Logan Schafer in 2013 Jake Elmore in 2013 Sean Halton in 2014 Caleb Gindl in 2014 Stephen Vogt in 2014 Sam Freeman in 2015 Michael Blazek in 2015 JJ Hoover in 2016 Shane Peterson in 2016 Dan Jennings in 2016 Neil Ramirez in 2017 Omar Narvaez in 2019 Some of these are listed as RCs in the Beckett database and some are not. And as to whether the 7 from 2020 get RCs in 2021, I would be quite shocked if a single one of them did. With all the different sets that were released in 2020, the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year has exactly one RC: 2020 Topps Update.
