Ted ZanidakisIn the Spring of 1949, these were my 1st colorful BB cards that I collected. As a 9 year old, I was
thrilled by them.....Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Jackie Robinson, and many
more ballplayers that I would hear play, while listening to my old Vacuum Tube radio. Here they were
on little pieces of cardboard that cost me a penny to collect. You're darn tootin.....I love these Leaf
cards.....and, I still do.

Thanks for the nice words regarding my article on this 1949 Leaf set in the Old Cardboard Magazine.
Incidently people, this set is NOT a "1948-49 issue"............
all 98 cards (and the additional variations) in this LEAF set were issued in 1949.....period.
The stupid Grading Co. have mis-labelled everyone these cards.
If you read my article, you will find very strong proof of this fact. And, I guarantee you that you will
be convinced.....never more having to say these cards are a "1948" issue.
