Pennsylvania Ted"Does anyone really know what time it is ?"....the title and
lyrics of the famous Chicago Transit Authority song, 1967.
Well, does anyone really READ the backs of BB cards anymore ?
Here we have the Chicago based Leaf Gum Co. card of Satchel
Paige.....have any of you read the back of it ?
The last sentence in his write-up tells us without any doubt
what year this card was marketed.....1949. And, if you bother
to read the backs of many of the 1st and 2nd (scarce) series
cards in this set, you will realize it is indeed a 1949 set.
Furthermore, if you do some homework regarding the 98 players
in this set you will realize that this set was never issued
in 1948. This is my final word on this subject.
So.....Good Night and Good Luck and may you all have a.....
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and Season's Greetings.
