Thanks for the nice compliments regarding my 1949 LEAF BB story.
I hope this article will finally clear up the confusion that has "haunted" this set
for all these years. Just as the T206 is referred to as "The Monster" (pre-War era).
I would dare to say that this Leaf BB set is "the monster" of the post-War era.
In 1981 I started working on my 1st T206 set. Simultaneously, I started working on
the 1949 Leaf BB set. Now, mind you, I already had the 1st series of 49 cards from
my youth; it took me 12 years to finally complete the Leaf set comprising of 101 cards.
Meanwhile, it only took me 6 years to acquire the 520 cards and Magie to "complete"
the T206 set.
