Of those 3, the only one that I would even give consideration as a rookie card to, is the Ripken.
Mostly because it's at least from his rookie card year, and it's his most expensive and desireable card from that year. Even by modern rookie card rules(not counting regional/local releases), the '49 Leaf Musial and '52 Topps Mantle wouldn't qualify, because of their '48 and '51 Bowmans', so I really don't see why those cards are even a RC option for the TPG's.. The Musial, I think the confusion comes from the fact that it is sometimes referred to, and at one point even slabbed as a '48 issue. As far as the '52 Mantle, I think that the card is so iconic, that people just wanna find any excuse to call it a rookie. And even if they can't find an excuse, they just do it anyway..
