This still feels like a side subject, though, because they at least waited until Judge had played a ML game. They didn't do that for Ohtani. They didn't even wait for him to make the team. Whereas Judge was playing for an ML team in 2016, but Topps waited until 2017 (with exception to the noted card above) before releasing "RC" cards and instead released only prospect/call-up cards in 2016.

I can only speculate that everyone assumes it's a foregone conclusion he makes the team? Dunno though, agree it isn't consistent.

Peter I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but there is another player I saw recently with a "RC" designated card in 2017 product and 2018:
2018 Paul DeJong 2017 Paul DeJong (this isn't his only 2017 RC, but used to illustrate the point) I do believe the 2018 silver pack may be an error, as his other 2018 cards don't have the RC logo, but still relevant to what you were pointing out earlier.

Is there any relevance to the fact that none of the RC cards in question are base set cards?
Perhaps that's the loophole. Since they are special release or subset cards and not part of the official set Topps can "get away" with it. |

The Topps Opening Day Ohtani card, however, is number 200 in the base set. Even the, heritage, though has the RC logo even though it isn't in the base set. Also there is now going to be Gypsy Queen that will have Ohtani as card 89 in the base set. As far as the Judge and DeJong, I believe those are mistakes. Whereas the Ohtani situation seems to be a blatant rule breaking that could be an issue if Ohtani doesn't make the roster for Opening Day. I have asked the question on Twitter to Topps, MLB, and MLBPA. No one has responded and doubt they will.
