If Topps knows who Hoskins is (and it's doubtful since he doesn't have "Yankees" or "Mets" across his uniform), you'd think they could sneak him into 2017 topps update since there are probably open spots in the checklist for late-minute adds and the base cards/packout probably won't go to press for a month.
I don't see why Topps can't print the RC logo cards of late call ups in their update set.
A players rookie card should correspond with the year they were actually called up.
They probably could if they really wanted to but I'm sure they hold off doing it with the breakout rookies to help boost pre-sales the following year (since Series 1 comes out before the following season begins, which means no new rookies to excite customers. Only the ones from the previous season)
I think it's lame. A players rookie card should correspond with the year they were actually called up. Maybe allow some exceptions with the September call-ups since it's so close to release date and they weren't on the 25-man roster.
Generally speaking, any rookie called up after August 1st (or one of those days in early August) will be in the following year's product & Hoskins debuted on August 10th so regardless the team he played for he'd still be in next years product. Aaron Judge debuted nearly the same day as Hoskins did last year (August 13th I believe) and didn't have a rookie card until the following year as well.
I hate this debate. It's just way simpler to do things the way they were done in the first 100 years of the hobby so you don't have all these artificial rules and loopholes. Rhys Hoskins's RCs were in 2014.

So are you a collector or an investor?Since I don't collect post 2006 trading card "rookie cards" but rather BC 1st year prospect cards I'm fine by this. ^^^
I don't get it. What's the point of having a rookie card issued 3 years before a player's major league debut? Was Hoskins a rookie in 2014?
