Default Tell me about 1948/49 Leaf

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

In Hillside, NJ in early 1949, lots of Leaf BB packs were available for us kids and they were all 1st Series.
I never knew there was a 2nd Series of 49 cards until 1978.
In the Boston area, where Peter Thomas collected these Leaf's, the 2nd (or SP) Series was available.

Prior to writing my article in The Old Cardboard, I did some research into your wrapper and was unable
to narrow down what Leaf product it was associated with.

The 1948 Leaf Boxing packs had "Knock Out Gum" printed on their wrappers.

I have a picture of a Leaf Football pack Box somewhere with the term "PICTURES" on it (as on your
wrapper). If I find it, I will scan it for you on this Thread.
