Default Tell me about 1948/49 Leaf

Like Peter.....my original Leafs, with rounded corners (because they were great for flipping and scaling),
are still more cherished than the nice ones I have in my 100 card set (missing Doby).

The Satchell Paige is definitely less available than the other 48 - SP cards. In my article, I refer to the
Alan Rosen original find, which totaled 576 - 2nd series cards. There were only 3 - Paige cards found
when the 96 wax packs were opened. The other 48 players yielded a normal distribution of approx. 12
cards each.
Personally, I have also found Kell and Slaughter to be tougher than the other cards in this series.

The owner of these 4 unopened boxes in this find was originally from Michigan and had moved to Florida.
