1949 leaf

Thanks Ted, That gives me a bit of info about how they were when they were new. Stuff like that is hard to find on any set, let alone one from before I was born.

I have pics of DiMaggio like that one, as well as the yellowish back and with Pink for the name box and fleshtones. So far I can pick out three main groups, with a couple transitional ones and a couple that are hard to figure out.

"First" group - No idea if it was actually first - Normal ish colors, generally shaded hats and generally no lines dividing the bat or figure from the border

"Second" - Unshaded hats, and generally lines dividing the bat or figure from the border.

"third" - The same as second, except the M in the CMYK really is Magenta instead of the more usual red. Blue is also generally very dark. (On this one for DiMaggio his hat is solid blue) These can be tough to spot on some cards, especially Robinson and some other portraits.

Those are the scans! Thanks, Anthony. Too cool.

BTW, I have seen the DiMaggio with 3 basic variations. Of course the green comes in many shades, but there's green, yellow, and also a "blue tint" version that Memory Lane auctioned off in the Summer of 2015. It was a PSA 3 and I really wanted to add it to the collection but it sold for $3025 and I wasn't ready to go that high.

If anyone here owns this card and wants to sell it please let me know.

I'm not sure if it could be considered a true "variation" but here it is:
