Card is at PSA and I did not get a scan of the back! Ugh. I can tell you the back is CLEAN and about maybe 60/40 or even 70/30 off center but beautiful!

Thanks! Mike

Hey Mike

My guess is WHATEVER

Before PSA sends it back to you, tell them to label the flip.....1949. Or else you will have a card that is mis-dated.

These LEAF cards were issued in the Spring of 1949 (1st Series). Paige was in the 2nd Series which was issued in the Summer of 1949.

I know this for a fact, since I collected these cards in my youth.

But, you don't need to take my word for this....JUST READ PAIGE's BIO, it confirms what I am telling you.

Good Luck.

Thanks Ted, I've always enjoyed reading about your experiences and exploits! I started opening wax in 1976 so a bit after you did! I did put 1948-49 on the form but I think they only have 1948 on the flips, I'll try. I also heard a crazy rumor that the Paige was only issued in Canada? Is there any validity to that? Thanks in advance! Mike

[Zact]

With the tape the highest is going to be a psa 2.

The 2nd (or Short-Print) series (49 cards) was issued only in the Boston area, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and possibly the St Louis area.

That is a "crazy rumor"....I never heard anything about any of these cards issued only in Canada.

Whenever I am lucky enough to be the second owner of an SP Leaf, it seems that they come from the upper midwest. I need to spend more time there...

My guess is also AA

PSA 1.5

And a darn nice one at that!

[deeg23]

I’ll guess PSA 4 ST... Thanks Mike!

[swarmee]

6(ST) since my first guess was already taken.

[Sinker Slider]

Psa 1.

[AGuinness]

Did you submit it through PWCC? If so, I say it comes back without the tape residue, a micro-cut smaller and in a PSA 9 holder. Ha!

The 2nd most popular guess hit and I LOVE IT! Corners, centering, colors, registration, but alas the tape did me in! What a beauty though! Wowser!
