No, that's not true. We are talking about back then in 1997. Sports card forum probably didn't exist yet, and the card collecting communities were separated by regions and towns, so there weren't any consensus opinion on them. It might be regarded as a rookie card in your local collecting community, but in mine, they weren't regarded as a rookie card. The closest thing that connects all the different collecting communities was Beckett, so most collectors relied on its information.
