Which Caleb Downs card is the real rookie card
Caleb Downs's rookie year is the first season of Topps' return as the NFL card licensee (Topps last made fully licensed NFL cards in 2016, and Panini held the license in between), so his licensed rookie cards are Topps issues. The first is 2026 Topps Flagship Football (released August 21, 2026), where he is base card 363 with the RC tag; 2026 Bowman Football (released September 30, 2026) follows with paper base 195 and Chrome base BCV-195, both tagged RC. He signs in the main rookie autograph sets of both products. No exclusive autograph contract was found in any source we read.
