Or, calling a 1952 TOPPS Mantle his "rookie"....when I collected 1951 Bowman cards a year before I acquired my 1952 TOPPS Mantle in the Fall of 1952.
Furthermore, calling the 1910 COUPON cards "T213-1" also "bugs" me.... when my research has confirmed that these cards were issued circa Spring/Summer of 1910.
This timeline is exactly when the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card was also issued.

Good to hear from you, Ted. Hope all is well. I also always get a laugh when I hear somebody saying something about a 1952 Topps Mantle rookie--no such animal exists!
Highest regards,
