You're right about that Al. The collectors will dictate what price a collector is willing to pay for each version, RC, XRC, PRC, etc. The higher prices, of course, will indicate which card is the favorite of collectors.

One other note related to the '80's rookie card craze, it went so far as having a player's first card issued by each individual card company labeled in the price guides as well. For example, Topps first issued a card of Joe Carter in 1985, however he appeared in the 1984 Donruss set. Of course, the Donruss card was his rookie card so the '85 Topps was labeled FTC or First Topps Card. The dealers tried to charge higher prices for those designated cards as well........
