I may be wrong, but I've always felt that rookie cards are just that, cards released during the rookie year of the player. I guess Paige's card can be considered a rookie, since it was his first year in MLB. However, Mantle's 1952 definitely is not, nor ever will be his rookie. And in a modern sense, Michael Jordan's 1986-1987 Fleer has never been nor ever will be his rookie as well. Those are hobby myths.
