This 52 Mantle card really gets around

Whether it's called a rookie or a cookie...people know what they're buying.

Houston, we have a problem. This discussion just got complicated. If we call a 52 Mantle a cookie, what do we call this?....

or for that matter this?....

Cookie too.jpg

But that's not all, how about....

Mookie.jpg

and

Mookie 2.jpg

If Wilson is the A Mookie, would Betts be the B Mookie?

Chronologically, in the Cookie case, Lavagetto would be the A Cookie, but now you want to call Mantle the B Cookie instead of Rojas who is a true Cookie. Oy vey. Calling Mantle a C Cookie seems demeaning and I'm not buying it.

And that's just the beginning,

Where does this guy fit in

or this this one

Nookie.jpg

If Mickey is a Cookie, what do you call a Nookie?

but i digress

The 51 Mantle is the Rookie

The 52 Mantle should not the Cookie (A, B or C)

Maybe we should just call the 52 Mantle a Wookie Card.

Nope, that won't work either.

I'm surprised that Cookie Gilchrist and his Cadillac that had "Lookie looked here comes Cookie" written on the hood did not make an appearance in that post.
