Rizzuto & Slaughter "Real" RC Debate

As a Post-War HOF RC collector, I would be interested to see what the majority thinks. I am not sure if it is obvious, or if there is a debate.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

For me there's no debate:
RC for both -- 1941 Double Play (I believe was issued in Mass)
next 1947 Bread cards

1st Mainstream RC - 1948 Bowman

I believe a lot of post-war RC collectors go after the 1st mainstream card issued which I believe would be the Bowman.

Here's a few more:
Frank Robinson --> 56 Kahn's or 57 Topps

Stan Musial --> 46-47 Prop Montiel or 47 Bond Bread or 48 Bowman or 48-49 Leaf
Although I'd accept all 4 as RC's the 46-47 card does not show Musial in a MLB uniform. I believe it's a Cuban league card or something.
