This article on Rich Egan from the December 13, 1973 Chicago Tribune (as reprinted in the March 1974 issue of The Collector Talks) says that he was 32 years old at the time, which would mean he was born in 1941. That also means he was 24 when he started writing "Egan's Alley".
Also, here are all the cards in the 1949 Leaf set, from Ted Z's article in the Fall 2006 Old Cardboard. "SP" indicates the short prints. I hope Brett and Lyman don't mind my posting these scans of the pages.
