Default I'll Trade You a Wagner for a 1948L Rocky Graziano

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

OK, call me "crazy"; but, in my almost 30 years of collecting
sportscards, I have seen at least 12 - T206 Wagners. However,
I have actually seen only one 1948 LEAF Rocky Graziano. And, I
have heard of only one more which is owned by a veteran boxing
collector.

This Leaf Graziano card certainly qualifies as on of the great
mysteries in the hobby. The '48 set, incl. Joe Louis, Dempsey,
J Johnson, John L. Sullivan, etc, and was printed on a 49 card
sheet. The Graziano is actually the 50th card in this set (and
it is also card #50).

I have a full 49 card uncut sheet of this set; but, of course
Graziano is missing. So, I am curious if anyone can enlighten
me regarding this mystery card, like why did Leaf withdraw it?
And better yet, does anyone know where I can find one so I
can finally complete this boxing set.
