 In many towns, you might've heard more than a few kids uttering this phrase. Think about it -- back in the early 50's, if you lived in a city or town that only carried Topps cards, you wouldn't even know about Bowman cards. No internet, no collectors conventions, just you and your neighborhood buddies swapping Topps cards and chewing gum. To you and your friends, the '52 Topps Mantle was the Mick's first card, or rookie card (if the term even existed back then). Now, I'm not saying it is corrrect to call the '52 a "rookie card", but some things in a collecting culture just catch on, and sometimes they stick. This is one of those times.
