There are several players with "rookie" cards spanning multiple years. The term is "rookie" is subjective.

Because there is debate over whether certain types of issues should be considered rookie cards. Regional issue, minor league, exhibit type cards, etc. may or may not be true RCs depending on who you ask. But a main stream card issued of Mantle in a Yankees uniform in 1951 is his rookie card. One issued the following year by another manufacturer is not, despite its iconic status in the hobby.
