"Knock Out Bubble Gum" Boxing set of 50 cards (printed on White cardboard stock).
This set was so popular they reprinted it (this time with 49 cards) on Gray cardboard stock.>>>
Ted-
I have a question about the Leaf boxing issue. Graziano was issued and pulled quickly, with just a handful known. I'm assuming he was the 50th card on the white cardboard stock.
The only thing that doesn't make sense is that Leaf used a press sheet that would only allow 49 cards. Some card must've been swapped out with Graziano, but no card seems to be less available in that set than any other, with the exception of Graziano. Any idea which got substituted in the final run?
