There's no question that a rookie card is considered special (1968 Nolan Ryan, 1954T Hank Aaron). I was just pointing out that the rookie card is not always the player's most expensive card: 52T Mantle, Cal Ripken RC, etc.

When I say I don't think such-and-such card is a rookie card, some card owners act as if I've assaulted their religion or, even worse, the card's market value. That's why I qualified that my definition of rookie card is just a definition of rookie card.

Rookie card designation effects financial value. But financial value shouldn't effect rookie card designation.
