Both Frank Bork and Jerry May had cards in the 1965 Topps set, does this card still qualify as a RC? https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/65/cid/29030/1966-Topps-123-Pirates-Rookies---Frank-Bork-/-Jerry-May '65 Bork: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/64/cid/12076/1965-Topps-592-Frank-Bork '65 May: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/64/cid/11626/1965-Topps-143-John-Gelnar-/-Jerry-May

No, it's not an RC card. Someone was just a bit overzealous and just marked all cards with "Rookie" on it. These "Rookie Stars" cards only get the RC note if it's an RC card for at least one of the players.

You can check the Change Log to see which member did it. This was not unusal for Topps during the 1960s, players showing up on numerous "Rookie Stars" cards.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

All of the 1966 cards have been updated to reflect RC / not RC, along with Note2 updates. We'll eventually update all the other sets too ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *
