Alan Rosen and I discussed the Leaf find back in the early 1990's and there were indeed 10-12 cards
of each of the 48 players in this series. His book states "2-3" and this is an error in the text.

But, please forgive me for correcting your math....."4 full boxes, 96 6-card packs, 1152 total cards".
This total is actually 576 cards.....which is also the product of 48 players x 12 cards each.

Quite a few in this hobby are very critical of Alan Rosen; however, he has ventured out and attained
some great FINDS. And, finds like this Leaf 2nd series one, and especially his 1952 Topps Hi# find and
his 1500 card Tobacco find (including 750 mint T206's) have provided us with an enormous amount of
added knowledge regarding these sets.
