This card is not mine. I just put it up to make this thread look more attractive.

And holy crap, I did not pay any attention to the back of the card! It says 1949! Why the hell is PSA labeling these cards as a 1948 issue? That's effed up!

I'm surprised he doesn't have a Negro League or Latin American card considering how popular he was. I found this Oscar Charleston card online and assumed that Paige had one too:



Anyways, if these cards were printed during the same year as the Bowmans, then I might just collect the Bowmans instead. This is because 1) the Robinson and Paige cards look more attractive to me than their Leaf cards 2) they cost way less and 3) Bowman is a bigger name than Leaf. I still have to research both sets more before making my decision. And I have to try to track down that article Zanidakis wrote about the Leaf cards (from Old Cardboard Magazine).
