I'd rather have Leaf. Not as many commons to waste money on LOL. Williams, Musial and Robinson rookies, DiMaggio, and Paige I think marginally wins on player selection too, notwithstanding the 311.

Yes and Musial is 1948 Bowman, 1949 Leaf is a "2nd year" card. Paige, Robinson, Doby, Kell and Newhouser are the HOF rookies in the set. All but Newhouser are also in 1949 Bowman.

I believe the market still considers Leaf as a rookie card, no?

48 Leaf Ted William's a RC? I would assume no.

That makes sense. I have considered the leaf Musial a RC and believe most of the hobby does as well.

Does the market still consider the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays cards rookies even though they had 1951 Bowman cards? I remember people calling 1987 Topps Mark Mcgwire and Jose Canseco cards rookies too.

Well Peter, most people are absolutely WRONG.....if they "consider Leaf to be a 1948 or 48-49 issue." The 1949 LEAF BB cards are strictly a 1949 issue. I can write pages proving this fact here; however, I refer you (and any other doubters here) to my OLD CARDBOARD (Issue #9) article (8 pages) which provides a history of the 1949 LEAF BB set. Which of these 2 sets is easier ? While the 1952 TOPPS set comprises of 407 subjects (4 times as many cards as the 1949 LEAF), the TOPPS set is easier. The 2nd series (so-called Short Prints) of 49 subjects (including Paige) of the LEAF set are extremely difficult to find. And of course they are quite expensive ($400 - 500 for commons). 1st Series (issued Spring 1949) …………………………...………… 2nd Series (issued Summer 1949) . . Incidentally guys, The true 1st cards of Yogi Berra, Gil Hodges, Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial, Jackie Robinson, and Bobby Thomson were issued in the 1947 BOND BREAD set (48 cards). These are my very first BB cards, which I collected as a very young dude. TED Z T206 Reference . |

"Both are great, doesn't matter."
Unfortunately, both of these sets even in lower grade are still way too expensive for me to make an honest effort at going after. Right now I'm focusing on '56 and '67 Topps.

Yes, obviously. Sorry if my grammar was ambiguous, I meant
Williams Musial and Jackie rookies Should have used a semi colon
