Ok, so going into the non sports world new terms are needed. I think FC is the way to go. Comics have FA

No

No, I am a Pokemon collector, there is no such thing as a FC.

So, what do we do if the card itself lists the character as a rookie ie  https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/74396/cid/5316410/1990-Impel-Marvel-Universe-82-Ghost-Rider

I collect Pokemon and other stuff myself. The real question is why is it no such thing when in reality there is a FC kinda for all characters. This is in development in my view as a large majority of Pokemon are children who don't know RC, FC scenario etc

I have been doing research a bit in these categories and seems the trend is growing. Look up Yoda Rc on ebay.

In my view, that is a RC/FC if it is truly the character's FC in my view.

majority of thinking here is based only on sports cards and how they function in the RC world of the major sports world baseball/hockey. 

Databases are what people make them to be.

NO

As mentioned earlier in the thread, if the manufacturer put Rookie(s) on the card then ROO note is okay. Not ideal, but manufacturer put it on there. But fictional characters do NOT get the RC note.

This is only rules people running a database have "created" (edited for spelling and grammar) by and for themselves. The manufacturer put it on the card itself to saw hey everyone looks who's First Card RC this is. 

Sports Card world thinking and Non Sports card world thinking is different

Two things. First, just because someone put Rookie on the card doesn't necessarily means it the whatever it is first card. Not hard and fast, but not definitive. Second, this is Admin's DB and Admin's rules. If you have a suggestion send it to Admin for his input because you've already heard the feedback from the members who have been operating in the DB for years now. If Admin gives you revised guidance, post it, and we can go from there.
