I was looking into Jake Cronenworth cards, because I was wondering why his 2021 Topps Heritage card isn't labeled as "RC".  I thought to myself that I will look at his card history, maybe he has another Heritage card earlier in the set.  I know this is nothing new, but he has over 1400 cards already.  I clicked through many pages and I'm still not really sure of the answer.  

Today = junk era mass over production in disguise?

I inputted a card into my collection for a guy named John Richy the other day. I wanted to use the card number to find the card I had in hand since there are 80 different Richy cards out there. I went to filter by card number and only 6 numbers showed up. Uhhh...

I don't know why that card is not labeled "RC", I know some cards say Rookie on them, but they're really not, but it's sometimes confusing for me too.

But I agree that there are way too many cards produced nowadays, between the base sets, plus the cyan, chrome, refractors, blue, rainbow, green, chrome rainbow, gold, gold chrome, gold chrome refractor, SN1, Chrome Printing Plates SN1, Chrome Printing Plates Magenta SN1, Opening Day, Autographs, Holiday, Artist Proof, Holograms, MEM, Relic, a player can get thousands of cards in just a couple of seasons.

It's insane! But it's just the card companies response to the demand of people looking to "invest" a pretty penny on that super ultra rare, SN1, PSA10, authenticated, certified, verified, genuine, bona fide, electrified card.

Good luck to whomever tries to collect every card from a player.

I get a headache trying to figure out what some of the cards are that I get reatil or in auctions. My way of explaining it is that even the inserts and parallels have inserts and parallels and on and on. Sometimes I narrow it down to 2 (or more) possibilites and just make a note that I couldn't figure it out.

His 2021 Heritage cards are from the In Action subset and High Number. Tough to say which one is really the true RC in this situation. Usually the other rookies had a base card and the In Action subset card.

it should be the high series UNLESS he was on a multi player rookie card from the base 500 set
