Why this card matters

The Sterling card most collectors actually encounter with an RC tag on it, from a sprawling 275-card set that Topps branded 2015 but released in February 2016. Its parallel run is the deepest of his three rookie-year base cards — Green /288, Black and White /188, Gold /88, Red /8 and a Sepia 1/1, with an unnumbered Silver that SportsCardsPro lists but Cardboard Connection's parallel summary omits. The product also holds his Chronicles Autographs #CA-AST and a Climbing the Ranks insert #CLIMB-1.

Disputed

Sources disagree

Beckett's marketplace listing title and a COMC listing for the Black and White /188 both label #227 an RC, while SportsCardsPro's data panel answers 'No' to rookie card and MMA Rookies ranks it behind Knockout #29 as an 'other rookie'. The card is a rookie-year card either way; which of the three is 'the' rookie is the open question.
