Looks like I'm batting 1.000 on guessing the correct cardboard backs. The bright fronts obviously are the clue.

My original Leaf cards from 1948 (all 49 cards) were the White cardboard. Many of them were Ex/Mt and some
near Mint. So, where my original FB cards. I wish my original BB cards were as nice.....I guess I just loved the
BB ones more than the others.

Anyhow, assuming that all (or most) of your Leaf's are in great shape, your collection so far reflects a typical
pattern, in that the Gray cards are more often found in real nice condition. You will find it to be an interesting
challenge....try to acquire this set with both backs. Having done this, it was easier for me since I already had
all the White cards.

Incidently, if you choose to do this, I might be able to help you, as I have quite a few nice extras.
