Did anyone here get that deal or is hiding in someone's archives forever?

Honus Wagner, the poster child for tobacco……oh wait minute.

Some of the information in this thread brings up a question of how many cards were in a pack were there 5 cards in the first series packs and 6 cards in the second series packs?

The Leaf box posted in this thread clearly says 5 cards per pack several sources say there are 6 cards in the second series packs in the Rosen find (FWIW in a video taped interview Al Rosen at first says there were 6 cards and then changes it to 9 cards in each pack).

Again, not my items, but at least one of the football series and the boxing set had 5 a pack. The wrappers don't say, but the box lids do. I can't find a picture of any of the 5 1948-1949 Leaf sets with a 6 card per pack lid yet.

Proof of the Leaf being a 1949 issue. Check out my interview, he opened packs in 1949. Written in his diary, cards shown and premiums are pack fresh.
