This isn't Bowman.....

And eBay /aution houses/ shipping gripes/ auction announcements/ stock market/ Memorabilia/ postwar hobby history... etc aren't prewar cards either. But no complaints about those?
(No complaints here, most of those threads are interesting)

Since Brooks Robinson is not in the 49 Leaf set, it probably fits better on here. There's a thread about 85 Topps on here. It sure is quiet on here. I guess everyone got cabin fever and went out. I may have to start a T206 thread in the morning...Rob

I mostly collect pre-war, but I collect 52 Topps and 49 Leaf a little. Both are fun sets. Ebay used to have a pre-1950, one-click category for a long time.

Agreed. And let's not forget name-calling, threats, politics, men pretending to be women - none of that belongs here either.

Now back to the 49' Leafs. At the beginning of each print run, a sheet would be put through the printer in order to check for ink density, and to see how the images were lining up (registration), etc. Were these "first sheets" tossed out or inserted into packs and sold to the public? This might explain why some of these cards look so messed up!

Could you email me this file?

I tried emailing it to someone a while back and it was too large for both of my emails.
I'll probably start putting screenshots in the postwar section. I've shared a couple, but I may as well do the whole thing.
