Hal LewisOK, here is the scoop:
The LEAF cards for MUSIAL and SPAHN have the "1948" print date on back... so these WOULD still qualify as "rookie cards" along with their 1948 black & white BOWMAN cards.
BUT.....
BAD NEWS for RALPH KINER fans.
His Leaf card is from "1949"....
which makes the 1948 b&w BOWMAN his true rookie card.
