In the Summer of 1949 when the 2nd Series of LEAF cards were available, this was Newhouser card we got when we opened up the LEAF red-white-blue wax-packs.

That's why I described it as "period from Leaf" and not "likely issued in packs of gum by Leaf", no correction needed. I suspect with many others that it was designed for Series 1 inclusion, before Newhouser got pushed into series 2 and his card redone. Doubt we will ever really know for sure.
