Right up there with a '52 Topps Mantle, '54 Wilson Franks Ted Williams and a '51 Topps Connie Mack All Star Robin Roberts, I suppose. |

It would be up there, but I think a PSA 10 '52 Mantle went for $275,000 a few years ago. I doubt the Paige would reach that level. Just my opinion. I wouldn't be suprised if a mint copy went for close to 100k. |

Given that there are only SIX of the 1949 Paige cards ever graded as an "8" by ANY of the grading companies... |

How much do you think a low grade 49 Leaf Paige would go for in a "1" PSA/SCG/GAI? |

I was watching one that was trimmed, and stated as such in the description, on eBay over the summer, and it sold for around $1,000. Otherwise, it was probably in good condition. |

Let's not forget the 1952 Topps Mathews RC. I just sold my PSA 2 (which would have been an SGC 10 due to a severe crease down the middle of his face), for $1,300+. |

Roberts, Konstanty and Stanky were likely never issued in the "Current" all star set. There are maybe three known copies of each. |

I bought my GAI 2 on ebay on 10/3/05 (two months ago) for $2.2k. Thought it was a good deal and may be comparable to a PSA 2: http://imageevent.com/hofcards/baseballhoferssz?p=12&n=1&m=20&c=5&l=0&w=4&s=0&z=2> |

I read in Rosen's book that some of the packs were left intact, is it possible that there could've been a disproportionate amount of Paiges in the unopened packs? Leaf was terrible with their printing on this issue, it wouldn't be a stretch to think they were just as bad with the distribution. |

I once heard (I think it was on Star Trek) that the simplest explanation, all other things being equal, is usually the right one. Leaf used 49-card sheets to print its cards. The cards were then cut, collated and packed. The collation is the point where randomness failed. The cards were not perfectly collated. I purchased a large Leaf boxing collection from the original owner and had a similar experience: as many as a dozen of certain cards and none of some others. It isn't short prints or mathematical models of randomness, it is lousy collation. |

if you want a Paige card issued right around the same time as the Leaf and Bowman but don't want to spend a small fortune, there is a Paige in the Exhibit set. |

The '52 Topps Mantle has become iconic. It is known outside the baseball card collecting world and is second probably only to the T206 Wagner in that respect. Whether or not it deserves such status is another question. I personally would love to have a '49 Leaf Paige (though I like the Bowman card more), but the Leaf's are rather simplistic and rough looking, espeically when compared with the '52 Topps set. And the Mantle card is truly a beautiful card. We all know rarity is only one factor in the value of a card. If I preferred the Paige over the Mantle, I would be happy that it was a relative bargin for the spectacular card that it is. All this said, of the Paige cards I am aware of, I like the '53 Topps the best. And for the record, I have a '49 Bowman in my collection. |
