Default What are the rarest post WWII cards (1945-1979)

Posted By: Anthony N.

In Rosen's book, True Mint, he talks about the find of 4 boxes of Leaf's 2nd series. He opened 2 boxes and got no Paiges. He sold the other 2 boxes to Jim Copeland and he got 3 out of the remaining two boxes. 4 full boxes, 96 6-card packs, 1152 total cards of a 49 card set, and only 3 of Ol' Satch.
The first two boxes yielded 288 cards (according to the book) with 2-3 of each card (the math doesn't work out, so I'm assuming he means per box) and no Paige at all.
Ted and I have spoken about how some of the SP Leafs seem to be tougher than others, and Paige topped that list. Add in the demand for him and it's even tougher.
