I always thought the 41 Play Ball Ted Williams should be the leader card for him over the 39 Play Ball true rookie. The 41 card is a gorgeously colored portrait and the 39 is such a blah black and white card with absolutely nothing on the front. The 41 is definitely diproportionately valued for what it is in sequence - but I hope in the future that card actually surpasses the rookie based on the love that clearly went into it. Ditto for the 48 lead. Unlikely though...

Disclosure - I have both and my 39 is in a higher grade.

Agreed on the 41 Williams. I purchased a few of his other cards before I bought his 39.
