There is no "myth" that I am concocting regarding the WHITE vs GRAY stock. The 1948 LEAF Pirates
(of the Seas) set preceded the Boxing and Football sets that year and was printed on WHITE stock.

Then the Boxing set was 1st issued printed on WHITE stock Followed by the FootBall set in
the Fall of '48 printed on WHITE stock.

Subsequently, both these Boxing and FB sets were printed on GRAY stock (either late in '48, or early
1949). Followed by the 1949 BB issue in early Spring of '49, and in the Fall of '49, the FB issue....BOTH
OF THESE SETS ON GRAY STOCK, only.

To emphasize, this sequence of events is exactly as it happened....no myth....ADAM, this is not "hearsay".

How am I certain of this....I collected all these sets as a kid back then and I still have all my original cards.
Furthermore, I have a very accurate recollection of these events from my youth.
