OK guys, here I go again in my criticism of PSA, SGC, etc. because of their wrong dates on their flips regarding the 1949 LEAF cards.
But, I do salute PSA and SGC for getting it right on the 1949 LEAF Premiums. Most of us (old dudes) who were lucky enough to collect these cards in 1949 remember that these HOFer picture premiums were included in the 24-count wax-pack boxes. There is absolutely no doubt that the Premiums were issued simultaneously with the cards. So, can any of you explain this contradiction. Why do the Premiums' flips have a 1949 date, while the BB cards' flips have "fictitious" dates ? SGC identifies these cards as 1948-1949, I don't know how Beckett dates them, and PSA is totally incorrect with their 1948 date........ ![]() . . ![]() TED Z .

It looks this thread is winding down. But, before it fades away onto page 2, it would be nice to have displayed all the 2nd series short-print cards,
since these cards are not often seen. So far, we have already posted about 1/2 of the 49 cards in this series. Therefore, here are 9 more...... ![]() Incidentally......the Orval Grove bio is one of several bios in this set that reinforces the fact that the 1949 LEAF cards were never issued in 1948. This card mentions the trade of Early Wynn from Washington to Cleveland on Dec 14, 1948. TED Z . |

So far, we have posted about 1/2 of the 49 cards in this series. In post #89, I added 9 new short-prints. And, here is another group of short-prints.... ![]() One more group to complete this series of 49 short-prints will be posted later. TED Z . |
