1951 Bowman, due to its his first cardboard appearence.

51 Bowman is his true RC, but given the choice I would take a 52 Topps, and not because of it's value but because it is such a good looking magical perfect card.

51 Bowman is considered his rookie, and its the one I would want if I had my choice. I love the look of that card.

Believe me, I know this is ridiculous. I was on another forum and this was actually an issue. A very small group felt that the '52 is widely regarded as his RC. None of them care to explain why exactly beyond one person stating it's been considered "public opinion" for as long as he's been alive.

The earth was widely regarded as flat too.
