Hello everyone,
This is my first post to net54 (longtime browser). The reason Sammy Baugh is wearing #45 on his jersey is that that was his uniform number at TCU. I think, like the Nagurski premium, that the printer tinted Baugh's jersey colors from TCU's colors (white & purple) to the Redskins colors of maroon and gold. As a side note, I've always found it odd that he wore #43 for the photo on his 1948 Bowman card.

Attached is an image of the reverse of the Nagurski premium (not mine).

Regards,
Scott
