To further clarify...We go with the same logic used to determine baseball rookie cards. Below is an excerpt on how baseball rookie cards are determined. We just apply the same logic to wrestling cards. Keep in mind this is just our opinion & what we believe. This obviously a great debate which will continue for some time.
Rookie Card: For such an important term, rookie cards are surprisingly hard to define. Rookie cards have long been the holy grail of card collecting because of their unique mystique and investment potential. Put simply, rookie cards are the first base cards issued for a player by major brands in the first year that a player appears on a card. By definition, parallels, inserts and sub-set cards can not be considered rookie cards, and are instead often called "rookie year cards." Oddball issues and local issues (such as cards produced by a team or by a regional manufacturer) are not considered rookie cards.
