	In the early 80s, there was some controversy as to whether or not cards from Traded sets were "true" rookies. This was due to their Hobby-exclusive factory set distribution. To some, if you couldn't pull it out of a pack, it's not a "true" rookie card. Because of the widespread distribution and general acceptance of such sets, the XRC designation was discontinued after 1988.

	Beckett however, grandfathered all existing XRCs, thus creating a rather confusing situation where a player can have his "rookie card" in a set AFTER his XRC was in a previous year's extended set.
