The 2011 cards are his RC, first year in the majors. The Bowman 1st cards have become popular, but those players are in the minors, and those sets are correctly labeled as Draft Pick, etc, and should be viewed as a minor league card. But, first cards have been and remain popular. Derek Jeter in 1992, Joey Votto in 2002, and Mike Trout in 2009.
And then there was MLB and Topps decision to create the official RC stamp that creates further confusion about 1990 RCs.
Because Topps Traded in the 1980s are generally recognized as RC, I consider any 1980s Traded set to be a RC. I disagree with XRC labels.
Note: this argument is meant solely for modern 1980 - present.
