Thanks Ed. However, in this case all the RC variations came in the same series. I know this must be true as I only bought one box and for example I have both Brandon Roy variations — 246"a" and 246"b".

How would that be handled?

Anything in Series One would be the RC and anything in Series Two wouldn't get the notation.

Example: 1999-00 Upper Deck Basketball

All the "Rookie Class" cards in Series One got RC, but anyone that also had a "Rookie Action" card in Series Two didn't get RC notation on that card ... only the ones that didn't have a card in Series One.

Out of curiosity, how should this rule then be applied to a set such as this 2006-07 Topps basketball set where several of the rookie have one variation in uniform and one from the draft?

Currently both variations are labelled here as RC. I am not sure if one varitation was shorter printed than the other and neither is listed here as a SP.

Is it currently correctly noted or is a change required?

In that case, I would call them both Rookie Cards.

If neither was short-printed over the other, they can both be RC ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
