Leaf Premiums ?

I realize slightly post-war, but, anyone familiar with 1949 Leaf Premiums ? From what I understand they are postcard size and rare. How rare? How distributed, or what was needed to send in for this Premium? Has PSA graded many? Thanks, Steve.

If you're talking about the Leaf 'Baseball Imortals' premiums of Christy Mathewson, etc, I heard they were distributed to stores one per wax box of regular Leaf cards. It was recommended, not required, that the store owner give the premium to the kid who bought the last wax pack in the box. Either way, a kid got the premium from the store where he bought a Leaf pack.

They're cool looking items. I have the Gehrig and Matty. Not rare but scarce.

Do you subscribe to THE OLD CARDBOARD magazine ?

In the Fall 2006 issue (#9), I have written a detalied article on the 1949 LEAF BB set and I have included
information on the Leaf Premiums.

It should answer your questions on these. If not contact me and I will try to provide you more information
regarding these scarce Premiums.
