Jackie Robinson
As most of us know, here are Jackie's first two cards (in a Dodgers uniform) which preceded his 1949 LEAF card.
So, why is the 1949 LEAF card still referred to as his "rookie card" ?  1947 BOND BREAD The 1947 BOND BREAD issue was nationally distributed from the East coast to St. Louis. TED Z T206 Reference .

C'mon Ted! You know postcards and regionals were the red headed step son of the hobby for ...well since it was a hobby! Always "gum cards" were touted as the rookies until the last decade at most

It's amazing how (in the pre-war era and the post-war era) the inconsistencies in this hobby regarding "rookie" cards. Best example is the 1951 BOWMAN vs the 1952 TOPPS Mantle. As a kid in the Fall of 1951, I acquired Mantle's 1st BOWMAN card. In the Fall of 1952, I acquired Mantle's 1st TOPPS card. I got back into this hobby in 1977, the hobby then claimed Mantle's "rookie" card was the 1952 TOPPS card. I did not understand  Incidentally, speaking about GUM cards, Jackie's 1st gum card is not the 1949 LEAF card, but the 1948 SWELL GUM card. Perhaps, I should break-up my SWELL GUM set and sell this JRobby. On ebay, they are asking "crazy" $$$$$ for it   TED Z T206 Reference .
