Brian,

I'm not sure a definitive Leader Novelty checklist exist. According to Frank Ward's website..................." there was said to be 33 (Leader Novelty) cards in the Copeland group, but only 20 different have been cataloged to date". As per Frank Ward's own words the auction that he referenced is a 1991 Sotheby's Copeland Collection Auction (lot #707).

Of the "five" W553 cards that I am currently questioning the existence off. I have seen Leader Novelty cards of Jimmy Foxx, Bing Miller, and obviously the Maranville and Traynor pictured in this thread. I have not seen a Leader Novelty Lu Blue.

Glad to see the Leader Novelty Root card found a good home. I always wondered where it ended-up. I remember having a snipe on it, but my sonar was really focus on picking-up the hall of famers. I don't know if we will ever see Leader Novelty cards on eBay again, but just in case I already have my snipe ready.

Lovely Day...
