This is a true printing mistake. Over the past 40+ years, I have had several of these black & white 1949 LEAF's.

I think the Leaf issues look better with white backgrounds



N310 Mayo cards can be found on occasion without the sepia art overlay:



This is distinct from the black and white variation that can also be found, and is really a printing error. Speaking of which:



Topps forgot the black ink...but at least it has some ink.



How'd you like to be a kid opening a pack in 1971 and finding that inside?

If the 1948 Bowman Movie Stars had been done in color, oh man, they would have looked amazing!
