1949 Leaf BB cards....Cleveland HOFers
Of the twenty HOFers in the 1949 LEAF set, the Indians lead with these five HOFers......
Spring series cards "MVP in 1948" ** . Summer series cards (short-prints) .... ** Note.... Trivia: What is unique regarding Lou Boudreau's MVP award ? Furthermore, I bring Boudreau's 1948 MVP award to your attention, which is one of several factors that prove this LEAF set was issued ONLY in 1949. The graded card flips (PSA, SGC, etc.) are absolutely incorrect with their "1948" date. Boudreau's MVP award was announced in late December 1948. However, if you need more proof of the 1949 issue date, I refer you to my 8-page article published in Old Cardboard titled "1949 R401 Leaf Gum Company: Most Challenging of all "R" sets" ? ......

Great cards, guys.
As someone who appreciates mid-century pop art, I find this set mesmerizing. As someone who craves focus and centering, I find it infuriating. My only two examples. Hoping CW posts his DiMaggio duo. |

I'm reprising this post because there were no responses to my Trivia question......

Leaf set
I have been putting together this set for the last several years. Before I started, I also felt it was "ugly" but after reading Ted Z's article and looking at the set some more I decided to jump in and really enjoy the set. I'm down to needing one more card to complete the basic set (need the Larry Doby card). As many mentioned, it can really test your patience with the print defects, centering issues, focus problems but it has become one set where those issues don't bother me as much. Here is a link to my set and a few cards that I like that haven't been posted:

I thought that might be it but now I see it's actually printed one the back of his card.
