Hal that makes sense as it would have seemed uneconomical to have to make up a new printing plate to print the same card with a different back. I think it is safe to assume that a card with a 1949 copyright was probably printed in 1949. What seems to be unclear is whether the cards with the 1948 copyright were issued in late 1948 or in 1949. Is your ultimate question here whether you need to buy a Leaf Paige to have his true RC? EDITED TO ADD: I just checked the SMR and for what little it is worth, they don't designate the 49B Paige as a rookie. I wonder if Beckett does.
