This is an excellent synopsis. This is exactly how I feel as well.

I agree as I think do most collectors out there, even without an NFL license I do and always will consider them a rookie no matter what the beckett says. No offense to beckett at all but who made them the be all and end all on whats considered a "RC" card. Book Values are a joke also, again I love Beckett but some of the book values are unrealistic. When I go to big shows in Chicago dealers what to know what cards sell for on ebay not what they book at. "Book Values" have become irrelevant.
