1949 LEAF BB cards
Matt
Regarding your......
"As for the flip being labelled 1948, I can only think that PSA does this because the first series of these cards was released in
December 1948. I would like to see them label this card 1948-49 Leaf myself. "
Pardon me for beinng difficult, but where did you get this...." first series of these cards was released in December 1948 ? "
I, and many old dinosaurs my age (nationwide), collected these LEAF BB cards as kids in the Spring of 1949. And, NONE of us
recall them ever been available at any time in 1948.
As late as December of 1948, we were still getting the 2nd series of LEAF FB cards.
Trust me, the 1st series of LEAF BB cards (49) were available in early Spring of '49. The 2nd (or scarce) series (of 49 cards)
were available in the Summer of '49....and, only in Boston, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio.
