Away from my research atm, but 1st card (facsimile) in set of 13 was issued first. June/July of 1947. When I'm at my computer, I can provide the exact month.
That said, I'd still classify both the set of 48 and first in set of 13 to be his RC.
Old Gold Kneeling first distributed Sept 1947

I remember pulling the regular issue cards from BOND Bread packages in the Fall of 1947.
The special series cards of Jackie were never available in our neighborhood in Hillside, NJ.
