Question about 1948-1949 Leaf

[Cubfanbudman79]

I bought this DiMaggio raw and sent it in for grading. It came back as a BGS 1 but on the flip it says 1949 Leaf. I thought they put what year it was printed on, on the flip and the DiMaggio says 1948 on the back, but I've seen more on eBay that also say 1949.

Search the archive section for additional information. Ted Z has written some very interesting and insightful posts about this set. Nice card Cubman.

Thanks KCRfan, and I'll see if I can find the old thread

Reading the back of the Leaf cards show they are from 1949.
