Rookie Card - A players first year of cards, whether or not it is his rookie season. Players may have one or dozens of rookie cards, depending on how highly touted he was as a youngster and in which year his rookie card was issued.As defined above a player could have a number of rookie cards, and not just one "official rookie card" The amount of rookie cards could be multiplied by the number of companies that issue a card. Some players could have two Rookie cards from the same company such as a card issued in a Traded set (Topps) an update set (Fleer) or Rookie/Traded (Score), and then have a card issued in the regular set the following year. In most cases if not all the traded issue is recognized as the "official Rookie card"Minor League cards might be the players "First Cards" but are not considered true rookie cards because the player is not a Rookie until he plays for the Major Leagues. These cards are typically labeled as Rookie cards as a sales pitch to sell the card, and are not the "official rookie cards."
