Frequently Asked Question
What is a Rookie Card?
A rookie card is defined as a debut card of an athlete in a set that is licensed by the governing body of both the actual league and its player's association.

The Rookie Card concept is one of the major reasons why people collect trading cards for investment purposes. Publications such as Tuff Stuff and the Canadian Sports Collector are resources that people use to find out the values of rookie cards.

Over the past few years, products such as SP Authentic and SPX have been collector's favorites as the top rookie cards to collect for their respective sports. The regular issue Upper Deck brand products have also provided a great looking rookie card for most collectors in our industry.

Glossary Term
Crash numbering (also known as sequential numbering) - Adding numbering to a card front or back to make known the actual print run of a particular set. Cards are numbered in order up to a certain number either by foil stamp, ink jet printing, or by hand using a pen. For example the first card in the run could be "1/100," which would mean it is #1 of 100 total. The second card in the run would then be "2/100." The third card would be "3/100," and the numbering would continue up to "100/100."
