Going through my childhood collection, I’m discovering the rookies that I have and NEVER knew I had. Brett Favre rookie (it’s not worth much), Deion Sanders, Derek Jeter (Score), and even a few Canseco's. Now every card has the RC or Rated Rookie, so you will never miss a good RC, or the other 6,000 parallels, or image variations. Is the base the true one rookie? Asking for a friend. I’m that friend.
