I just wanted to publicly thank Ted Z for starting this thread and all the great information provided about this set. I only have two from the set but my Musial is easily in my top five favorite cards I own.

If anyone else has other info, printing anomalies, or just addition cards to show please do.

Thanks again Ted for making this post war collector visit the prewar side a bit more over the last few weeks.

Hi Drew

I appreciate your very kind words. And, I am glad this thread got you to check-out the pre-war side of this forum.

I debated whether to post this thread here, or in the post-war section. I felt that the historic significance of the 1949 LEAF's, being
the 1st major colorized BB card set since 1941, warranted higher exposure. I'm very pleased with the enthusiastic responses here.

Anyhow, I think you will be adding some more 1949 LEAF's to your collection.
