Parallel versions of cards (refractors for instance)

Reljac

Quick question...
Do the parallel versions of cards count toward registry sets.

For instance, if I collect a set that has a 2010 bowman chrome card, can I instead use the 2010 bowman chrome gold /50 version to meet the set requirement.

Likewise for other modern sets, if a registry set requires a 1993 topps card, would a 1993 topps gold card also work for that slot in the registry.

No. Those would be regarded as separate sets in the registry.

PSA says no.

One of the many reasons why I'm not into the registry like I used to be.

I'm suprised they don't allow better / rarer versions of cards... at least in sets that don't include the parallel

For rookie cards, if Beckett doesn't put "RC" next to it and put it in their "Rookie Card Encyclopedia", then it won't be recognized by PSA as being a "rookie card." On top of that, Beckett bows to MLB's forced definition of "rookie card."

So, a 2008 Bowman Chrome Evan Longoria IS a rookie card.
A 2008 Bowman Chrome Evan Longoria Superfractor is NOT a rookie card.
A 2006 Bowman Chrome Evan Longoria AU is NOT a rookie card.
