I, too, have not seen a WHITE cardboard LEAF Boxing card with a Blank-back. I have had several 100's of these LEAF cards in order to complete two sets (WHITE and GRAY).

However, I have (or have seen) several GRAY cardboard Blank-back cards.

My guess regarding this peculiarity is....due to rushed production of these cards during their final press run(s) in early Spring 1949 (GRAY cardboard production), the printing
of their backs was omitted. Stay tuned for an example which I will post when I scan the cards.
