That’s why Ohtani’s 2017 Bowman Chrome mega box card is considered a prospect card, while his 2018 Bowman and Bowman Chrome cards are considered his “rookies”.

Thats correct. Topps used that loophole to fool people into continuing to buy the bowman brand, which probably would have died off otherwise
