Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

A 1949 LEAF Album (in nice shape) sold for 1500 about a year ago.

But, who knows, in this era of Inflation.....anything goes.

Excuse me for correcting you....but, this LEAF set of 98 baseball cards (and this Album, and the LEAF Premiums) were issued in 1949.

I was wondering about that. I haven't followed it closely, but has it been settled whether the Leaf issue was 1948, 1948-49 or 1949?

Though some of the cards showed 1948 copyright dates, I believe it has since been determined the cards/set were not actually sold/distributed prior to early in 1949, which should make it a 1949 set. Always believed a set should be dated based on when it was first actually issued/sold, not necessarily on when it was copyrighted.

Thanks Ted, I appreciate the reference point. Do you remember where it was and if it had the mailing envelope?

And no need to apologize for the correction, I appreciate it!
