With that philosophy Eric, then Derek Jeter's 1993 SP shouldn't be considered his RC. He didn't play his first major league game until 1995. Wander already was playing in MLB months before the Bowman's Best was released. I think when Bowman chrome and Topps chrome versions of his card is released, those will become the chase cards for Wander RC's. But current sales on EBAY show the Bowman's Best Wander card holding it's value, 4 months after it's initial release. The fact that Topps nor Fanatics hasn't commented on the situation doesn't help matters.

This is totally contrived. The prospects have a different card design. Also, most of the prospects haven’t played at all in the majors so those cards clearly aren’t rookies. Why would Wander’s?

People can collect what they want but they’re fooling themselves if they think collectors will embrace these cards as rookies. This seems like a pump and dump scheme for people to sell Francos for ten times what they’re worth.

Appreciate the post on the subject. It’s fascinating to see the controversy.
