1949 Leaf Stan Musial color Variations? Why so different?
I’m wondering if more experienced members might be able to explain the variations that exist with the 1949 Leaf Stan Musial card -
I have always lusted after that card and that series - I bought the Ted Williams from that set and totally love it Any background to share on the color variations, why they exist, and if any are considered more rare, more common, etc Thx - looking forward to hearing more Jeff |

Most of the Leaf discussion is in the post-war 1945 and later forum further down.

Variations
Brian - Attached are 2 cards with variations that I feel are just as significant as the Aberson, Hermanski, and Peterson variations.
What a set! Where else can you find Joe D., Musial, Paige, Ruth, Williams and Robinson all under one roof. Plenty of HOF'ers and Short Prints that are truly SP's. All in just 98 cards. |

About 15 to 20 years ago a Newhouser, with a completely different pose, surfaced and sold for a lot of money. I've also seen a Joe D. with a blue
background. |

I have seen a picture of that Newhouser, super cool. I think someone had a picture of an uncut sheet on one of the threads, it would be fascinating to see where all the changes fell, and if it was a plate wide update or only a certain row like the Elite 11 from the T206's.

Illustrated here is a photo of an uncut sheet of the 1st Series of the 1949 LEAF cards. There is really no pattern for which determines the color variance, and which does not. The color variance was a random effect. These cards were printed using a 4-color process, in which the Yellow ink was one of the the first applications. TED Z T206 Reference . |

Amazing! How did you ever come across something like this uncut sheet??
Fascinating! But not surprising - I feel like a grade school collector hanging with PhD research collectors... love it Thx Ted Quote:

1949 LEAF cards
Quote:
I am familiar with the variant card of Newhouser card; however, I've never actually seen this card to examine it close up. I first collected these 1949 LEAF cards in my youth in the Spring of 1949. Then continued collecting them for the past 40+ years. As the result of doing a lot of research on them, I published an 8-page story on the 1949 LEAF set in The Old Cardboard Magazine (Issue #9). So, I guess what I'm alluding to....is that I'm not sure that this Newhouser card was ever issued back in 1949. Perhaps someoone on this forum will chime in and dispel me of my doubts.

The mentioned Newhouser card (obviously not mine). This was a pretty cool find in my book, I do not doubt its authenticity as period from Leaf.

That's amazing, there cannot be many of them out there, and I wonder if it was a sales sample or a different run? Does anyone know if there was alternate versions in the other sports? Wholesale different photos used?

Here's the auction it appeared in originally in 2009 (http://feb09.hugginsandscott.com/cgi...l?itemid=10523), with some guessing about it's nature and the discovery. I don't remember it appearing since then, but it may have. |

I'm not sure if it's been cleaned up, but Newhousers wikipedia page shows that card without staple holes or the auction watermark.

The white background variations are the bane of Leaf: they were in baseball, football and boxing. A Musial sold a few years ago for a small fortune...then.

If anyone on this thread would consider selling one of their ‘49 Leaf Musials, please PM me... after absorbing all of this great background on the set and the Musial, I’d LOVE to try and add one to my collection
Thx all! Jeff |
