It's my understanding that XRC vs RC things changed in 1989 when update/rookie sets started to become available in packs (1989 Upper Deck) even though some other update/rookie sets were only available in sets.
I'm not sure where the common consensus is at this moment, but last I bothered to get into the weeds 1988 was the last year of the XRC/RC separation.
