Here is the back of the known 1949 Leaf Newhouser......it is different than the one you have.

Also, none of the 49 cards in the 2nd (SP) series of this set have the "split-color" background
design.

This color design is only found in the 1st series of 1949 Leaf's.

You have a very strange card; and, the fact that it is graded does not guarantee that it is not
a fake.
Perhaps, it might be some kind of "proof" card......however, after having seen several 1000's of
these Leaf's since 1949, I think I would have seen this card by now ! ?

I'm at Booth #308 in Reading this weekend, I'd like to get a real close up look at it.
