For anyone who doesn't already have a copy.

Get one. It's a good book. Both as a book and as a book about a sometimes very challenging card set.

Not heavy reading like some literature or novels. Just a well told story.
And more than enough info about the set for anyone that wants to get more deeply into it.

Congrats!

So, while you were writing this book and researching these cards, how many did you end up acquiring ?? Did you manage to get any of the big ones, like Jackie and Paige ??

By the way, check out this rare "LSD variation."

Hello, my name is Brian and I am a LEAF addict.... I went deep, got the Baseball, Boxing and almost all of the Pirate set. I am now working on the 1948 football set. I will say that the Jackie and Satch I have were purchased a while ago, and pure luck. My Satch is missing all the borders, and has a dandy whoopsie on the face, but it is still a Satch. I told my wife it was all "research" and wrote it off as such.

On top of that, I chase the oddities, like your Jackie, which is a brilliant late print with an offset print issue. One step further it is what I classify as the last printing with Magenta ink. The print errors are a fun rabbit hole to run down, a lot of fun for sure!

I love the football cards! What grade are you collecting them in? I got a nice Bednarik sitting here if you want it!

Not mine. I found it on FeeBay. I had an AUTH ALTERED (trimmed) one that I sold on eBay and a nice PSA 4 that I sold at the Toronto Expo. I regretted selling the 4 and decided to buy myself another one from the REA Fall Auction! Thinking of getting myself another one cause' this card is so iconic!
