I certainly don't hate Topps, I love them in fact, most of the time. But I just can't limit myself to just them, they can't do cards on everything anymore like they used to.

I guess that would be OK, if all I was going to collect was baseball. While I still love the game, there are other sports and subjects I like to get cards for.

It's not funny, but I guess it kinda is, it sounds like you want to commit card genocide on all but Topps.

Yeah, I guess I am trying to be a little funny with the burning cards picture and all...trying to start World Card War III.  It's been a really good week.  I truly do respect how other people collect.  I'm glad people continue to collect.

I didn't notice the new picture of the burning cards.  I got a good laugh now that I paid attention to what it is.

The ONLY time I would use "RC" in a note on here is if the card itself actually had some sort of designation on it that differentiated it from other cards from the same set. To use Topps as an example, they have different subsets within their regularly numbered cards like the RC image, Future Stars, All-Stars, MLB Debut, Rookie Cup, award winners, etc. If it's on the card, it earns a note. If it isn't on the card, then no note. Notes are for identification of the physical card based on what is actually on the card.

If somebody wants to know what the first card of player x was, they can go look at a chronological listing in the database. Then, based on their own criteria, they can decide what matches their collection parameters for a RC.
