Early in the Spring of '49 Leaf Gum of Chicago issued their 1st series of 49 cards. As a 10 year old kid, I was fascinated by them. |

The Ruth and the Wagner I acquired from Frank Nagy in the early 1980's. I put together a 2nd set back then in Ex to ExMt |

It's obvious....look at the lower right corner. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful card. The registration on it is perfect. |

Jim, the corners look better in the scan than in person. I'd say its a nice 6 as far as corners are concerned. |

Here is an example of a 1949 Leaf 2nd series (SP) card with a wrong back. These printing errors are not that rare as some |

These are the only 3 that I own. I picked them up long ago because at the time I didn't have these players in any other set. You might notice on the Appling a small hole punch that remained intact. Not sure how it got there, maybe it was intended to be a sample? I got the card that way, in the sixties, no toploader or sleeve or nothing. That little piece remained in there all that time. |

That bat beyond the border of the Sid Gordon card is normal. There are a few more pictures like that one in the set. |

Ted's '49 Leaf article and Lipset's Cracker Jack article in the same issue were two of the best I've ever read in a hobby magazine. I'd second Ted's endorsement of Old Cardboard- a subscription is a must have for any serious collector. |

there are about 10 graded leaf ruths currently on ebay only 1 is like the nm/mint psa8 with the red showing between the borders. all the others, (and a fake) the uniform blends into the border. the one that does not is also nm+ and resides in a global holder. |

where these plentiful all baseball season or very lmtd. to spring distirbution? i know you said you thought that your set was complete till the 70's. and w/the skip #ing did you really know it was complete or just no new players so you quit buying? as a kid i always remember when a new series of topps arrived but i never bought all the series all baseball season. |
