RC vs. (RC) ...what's the difference
|
One is in parenthesis.
Actually I think they are both the same but if not somebody will set me straight.  My Huge Wantlist: http://www.zeprock.com/WantList.html 
I believe RC is a true rookie card (ie the player made their MLB debut that year) and (RC) is a rookie card of a player who has had earlier MLB experience, but no card issued in that year.

Actually, I think a player can have both an RC and and (RC). For example, if a player had 50 at bats last year (his true RC year), he would still qualify as a rookie this year and would have a (RC) card. I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong.

See if the search function will allow you to bring up one of the many threads where I and others have answered this over the last two years if not I will try to get on here tomorrow and go into depth if someone else hasn't answered but for now it's late here on the Eastcoast so I gotta hit the hay

When referring to an (RC) you have to change your tone when you say (RC)
EXAMPLE: I have an Albert Pujols (RC) card vs. I have an Albert Pujols RC card Nah but I think one of those guys is right ![[Image: yrBtR.png]](http://i.imgur.com/yrBtR.png) Collecting Reds and A's (especially Joey Votto, Bronson Arroyo, and Josh Reddick) (02-20-2012, 12:34 AM)bustin 5 knots Wrote: When referring to an (RC) you have to change your tone when you say (RC)Lol. Next time someone asks the question, this has to be our unanimous response!

So is it safe to say any Topps card with the RC logo is a true rookie and the ones with the trophies are not ?

I think the trophy indicates a player was a star rookie the previous season.
