Great info Ted - I don't know much about this set but came across the ad while searching through some things this weekend. Have a few other sport-related ads as well, will try to link soon. |

Jeff, great piece. This set is one of only two non-baseball card sets I collect. |

Here's an example of the difference in the cardboard stock of the two releases of this 1948 issue |

Looks like I'm batting 1.000 on guessing the correct cardboard backs. The bright fronts obviously are the clue. |

I was curious if anyone has the album described on the backs of these cards that could be obtained by sending in 5 wrappers and 25 cents? |

Ted, I was hoping you could provide some empirical evidence as to your grey/white theory. I would appreciate it. Thanks |

No one caught it yet but that ad touts over 100 cards; the set has 49 skip numbered. I think perhaps they intended to go into other series but sales tanked and they stopped. Or perhaps they were just crooks all the way and touted 100+ cards and skip numbered them to spur sales. Alas, we will never know... |

So Ted -- Leaf basically duped kids into buying up more cards as they searched for the elusive cards that never existed? Wow -- what a lousy thing to do to a kid. |

No big deal, Jeff.....we were pretty smart 8, 9 and 10 year olds growing up in Hillside (NJ). |

Ted, you grew up a few minutes from where I did -- Clark, NJ (not sure it existed back when you were in Hillside; it's connected to Westfield and Rahway). |

I remember Clark very well. It was a very small town when we were kids. |

Ted, I've been to that HoJo's a million times. Many of them drunk. I'm going back to Clark for the first time in years soon...and will be driving back with my kids to show them the house I grew up in, etc. |

I'm soon going back to Clark for the first time in about 7 years. Needless to say I wish I could go into my old house but I'd probably be too freaked out. |

Jeff Torborg lived not too far you just up the road in Mountainside. Being a Mets fan, I thought you might appreciate that. |

This auction is going to get plenty of publicity anyway so I doubt I'm telling anybody anything new. Kevin Savage Cards has an auction for the Rocky Graziano on E-bay right now. Is this card from '48 or '49? |

This card exists only on WHITE cardboard; and therefore, is a 1948 issue. |
