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 Insert ratio - These numbers are associated with cards that are not commonly available within the packs of cards. The ratio indicates what the odds are of finding such a card within packs. This is generally communicated on the packaging of a product with a ratio after a specific name, such as “Top Hitters 1:24,” which would indicate that the subset or insert set called Top Hitters is short printed (vs. the rest of the set) and will fall at an approximate ratio of 1 in every 24 packs. Sometimes, just the total number of cards produced for a specific short printed card is announced, as these cards are generally sequentially numbered and no approximate ratios are available at that time.
