48/49 Leaf Printing Issue or Non-Issue?
 

Wanted to get a board expert's opinion on the 48/49 Leaf cards in the image below, particularly the Doerr and Peterson. Notice the image was pushed over a bit. I'm not sure why. Any theories? Any idea on what it might do to the grades? Not that I have anything invested in these. :rolleyes: ;)

From my personal perspective, there are so many variations of each example of 48-49 Leaf, that the little things don't really matter that much with this set. Take the Musial for example; his hat appears in several different variations, however, in the right condition (regardless of the color of his hat), ant variation can be considered mint or even gem. When it comes to set, I would stick to the basics (centering, corners, creases, etc.) and base the grading of this set on condition rather than other factors.

However, and please keep this fact in mind- I am decently drunk right now, so in conclusion-Happy New Year Everyone!!

Thanks Frank... great advice. I hope you're sleeping on a nice hangover! :)
