1949 LEAF BB cards
Hi Brendan
1st, I have to tell you the Grading Company's have mis-labelled these LEAF BB cards.....the year is incorrect. These LEAF cards were never issued in 1948. The 1st series of 49 cards were issued in the early Spring of 1949. The 2nd (SCARCE) series of 49 cards were issued in the Summer of 1949. I explain this in more detail in my article. As you probably know, a complete set consists of 98 cards; and, 3 variations. There are numerous color variations which were the result of inconsistent printing of these cards. I will focus on the printing anomalies in the next post. The key card in the 1st series is Babe Ruth.  The key card in the 2nd series is Leroy "Satchel" Paige. This card is his first (or rookie card) in a Major League uniform. It is very scarce.  .  TED Z
