I don't understand your reply; or perhaps you do not understand
my comments regarding the 1949 LEAF BB set. For I simply stated
that this LEAF set is the last BB set ever issued that has all
these great players within just one set. There are 19 HOFers in
this set which is probably the highest ratio of HOF players per
total cards, than in any other major set in the hobby.
Have you tried collecting all 98 cards in this set ?
Over the years I have completed 2 N162 Goodwin Champs sets (my
favorite), a T206 set (minus Wagner & Plank), T205 & T207 sets,
the Goudey sets, a Diamond Star set, the 3 PlayBall sets, all
the Bowman sets, and a 1952 Topps set, before I was able to
finally complete my 1949 Leaf set.
Please forgive me folks if it appears that I am bragging, but
the point I am trying to impress upon you is that this is just
about the toughest set in the hobby to complete. It took me
almost 20 years to do it. Does this set deserve to be called
a "Vintage set"; you bet it does. If for no other reason than
the great challenge it presents to any serious collector, who
dares to complete it.
