Uncut sheet of 1949 Leaf BB cards
For many years we've known that these cards were skip-numbered, and that there are 98 different BB subjects.
But, in the Spring of '49....us kids had no idea how many cards we needed to complete this set. A premium adv. on the back of some cards mentioned a 168-card album was available for mailing in a number of wrappers. We kept spending our pennies buying LEAF cards by the 100's. It was a "nasty" marketing trick that LEAF Gum played on us kids back then. My original collection had all 49 (1st series) cards and approx. 80 duplicates. Here is an old photo of an uncut sheet of 1st series cards. Along with a diagram of the card #'s on their backs.   TED Z .
