This is purely speculation but I wonder if this was just packaging or if there were any cards involved in this fire.

Here are 2 favorites of mine. Adams and Wyrostek with uniform detail not seen
on examples. The face of Wyrostek is actually focused.

Super interesting! I wonder if this is a factor that prompted another printing?!

Default Leaf Boxing and BaseBall issues.....

A 2nd printing of the 1st Series of 1949 LEAF BB cards was most likely due to the popularity of these cards.

This is exactly what happened with the 1948 -1949 Boxing cards. First issued in the Fall of 1948. Then LEAF
continued printing them till early Spring of 1949. I can personally vouch for this fact, since I acquired these
Boxing cards from Sept 1948 till Feb 1949 (as a young 10-year old kid).

The boxing cards must have come out early in your area Ted, they didn't come out until mid December in Brooklyn.

Pat

In our neighbor (Hillside, NJ), the Boxing cards were available in late Oct. This I remember very well. During school breaks we were trading these cards.
I was a Tony Zale fan.

Check-out the bio of the Tony Zale card. He lost the Middleweight Fight to Marcel Cerdan on September 21, 1948. This is signifcant because we kids were
really into the Boxing scene. A mile away from our neighborhood (Newark) was an outdoor Boxing arena which featured semi-professional Fights.

Brian, in your research you might also want to consider that some of the variations might have been regional and the cards might have been printed in more than one place. I don't know how many factories Leaf actually had but here's one candy company that they purchased in 1943 that was in operation until they closed that location in 1950.
