Just to show you guys how absolutely IGNORANT both PSA and SGC are regarding the
1949 LEAF set, take a close look at the date on the flips of these graded
1949 LEAF HOFer Premiums. WOW ! they are identified as.....
1949 ! !
Ten HOFer Premiums were available at our corner candy stores. Each 24-count waxpack box contained one Premium inside the bottom of the box. Sometimes, a
generous store manager would reward a kid with a HOFer Premium, when that kid purchased the very last waxpack (or waxpacks) in a given box.
Kids would usually acquire a Premium by giving the store manager ten LEAF wrappers and requesting a certain HOFer.
Obviously, both PSA and SGC absolutely contradict themselves by having these Premiums dated
1949, but have the LEAF BB cards dated
1948. And, there is no
hope that PSA, nor SGC, will ever correct the date on their graded LEAF cards to reflect the true date of
1949.
Here are 2 of my HOFer Premiums.....Babe Ruth and the Lou Gehrig.
