Well, if we're talking about single expenses, the Leaf set also has the legendary Paige card, which will also run quite the pretty penny in PSA 5.

So there's that.

I'd rather have Leaf. Not as many commons to waste money on LOL. Williams, Musial and Robinson rookies, DiMaggio, and Paige I think marginally wins on player selection too, notwithstanding the 311.

Yes and Musial is 1948 Bowman, 1949 Leaf is a "2nd year" card. Paige, Robinson, Doby, Kell and Newhouser are the HOF rookies in the set. All but Newhouser are also in 1949 Bowman.

I believe the market still considers Leaf as a rookie card, no?

48 Leaf Ted William's a RC? I would assume no.

Does the market still consider the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays cards rookies even though they had 1951 Bowman cards? I remember people calling 1987 Topps Mark Mcgwire and Jose Canseco cards rookies too.

No, it doesn't, to my knowledge. But it's a different question, I am not arguing right or wrong, just asking what the market's view of it is and I think most people still consider Leaf to be a 1948 or 48-49 issue.

I rest my case.

"Both are great, doesn't matter."

Unfortunately, both of these sets even in lower grade are still way too expensive for me to make an honest effort at going after. Right now I'm focusing on '56 and '67 Topps.

Yes, obviously. Sorry if my grammar was ambiguous, I meant
Williams
Musial and Jackie rookies
Should have used a semi colon
