I remember that thread and reread it. The photos are no longer posted.
Although I applaud the research and photo dating... the thread doesn't bring me any closer to knowing where the cards were distributed... and for that matter exactly when. The window is certainly proven and precedes the 1948 leaf and Bowman issues almost certainly. The portrait card is described as a " promo card" by the researchers. There's a lot of " we believe", " may have been",
" we speculate " language in there. I'll never consider a promo card a true rookie card and for me the area of distribution is way to small. I'm standing by my opinion.. but great stuff!!! i just love the 49 Bowman too much to budge

Hasn’t it been accepted that the Leaf card was made in 1949?

It is probably not a fair comparison, but it was not that long ago that Ruth's 1933 Goudey cards were worth more than his M101-5/4 cards.

Correct

So who wants to trade my JR bread card for a JR Leaf?

I have a JR Leaf in SGC 55, so that won't work. Are you interested in selling the BB

Nope.

Likely depends on the collector. If it were a PSA1 for a PSA/SGC1 or a PSA2 for a PSA2, I would consider it. The BB card still has some catching up to do in the mid-higher grades, but there's no denying it has experienced an incredible jump in the past year. A PSA6 nearly eclipsed the $6k mark last night. I'm glad I got my PSA7 when I did. In hindsight, I wish I bought a few more.
