In the 90's the first cards made in the major league card issues were always a players RC. In the mid-late 2000's mlb started doing the whole "rookie label" thing. I think younger collectors of modern are used to rookie season, rookie logo stamped "RCs" but that wasn't the case or the norm in the 90's.
To further muddy the situation, Jeter has numerous 1995 issues that were produced after and make mention of his major league debut. So theoretically I can see people, depending on their own criteria, making cases for 1993, 1995, and 1996 cards. Although I never see the 1995 considered for whatever reason.
To me and I think the overwhelming majority of Jeter collectors, the 1993 issues are what we call his Rookies. But , people can collect whatever they want and different opinions are allowed
