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

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

Hi Steve

You don't have to travel any further than your greater Boston area. There has been several finds of 1949 LEAF SP cards in your area.

My guess is authentic, since you requested no qualifiers.
