Viktor Fasth is the example player ........ he has two cards that are both NHL calibre that were released before his "RC" year. One is a Panini Limited redemption in 12-13 as well as a UD Artifacts Rookie Redemption, I had thought that the Artifacts ones were still considered RCs even though it was a redemption program. Am I on glue possibly (please dont answer that lol) If this is the case there are alot of incorrectly listed hockey sets on the DB .......... yay ?!??! =/ Any help or memory refresh would be greatly appreciated.
ADDED ............
So now in his 13-14 cards, the SP Authentic set has two cards #151 and #255. The 255 is considered his rookie not the 151, does that not go against the norm?? Sure the 255 is the "Future Watch" portion of the set and the 155 is the "Authentic Moments" but it is still over a 100 cards sooner than the "RC". Just another observation.
