I think the opinions of the 1948 Leaf being issued in early 1949 are probably correct from the experiences of some of the older members of this forum who actually opened packs etc. However, since the Paige 1949 Bowman came out in the "High Number" series which presumably came out late in the year, You could probably come to the conclusion that the Leaf was issued first.

I would personally call the 1948/49 Leaf card the Rookie unless the information I gave above is not correct for some reason.
