In response to your post....10/15 (7:12)......No, the 1949 date does not indicate that the card was
necessarily issued in the 2nd Series (short-prints). However, the Paige card is indeed in this Series.
Jeff, if you just disregard the CR dates on the backs of the 98 cards in this set, you will find it less
confusing. As I have written in the Old Cardboard article, the two different dates just simply tell us
when Leaf Gum received the "Rights" and Copyrighted the Bio info on the particular BB player pic-
tured on the card.
I just wish that Leaf had never printed the 2 CR dates on these cards, this has "haunted" the hobby
for all these years......But, then how were they to know 57 years ago that they would cause all this
confusion ?
