48 Leaf Set

[clamendo]

I think its a nice set, but I can remember I could buy the whole set for what people are paying for one high grade card! Its nice to get some of the variations. I actually got PSA to recongize them -- white letters, etc. but its gotten a little out of hand. The Gorgeous George is tough. The white backs are real tough too. A display box recently sold at Legendary, the wrapper is nice too.

Carl, do you remember seeing that 48 leaf display box at the Dreier museum? Scott A just bought that, great pickup.

The set is a classic, but lately has become a landmine. I'm looking to find upgrades, but I'm looking to upgrade the cards, not the flips.

My primary focus now is on the White Backgrounds and finding a friggin' wrapper (anyone that can provide images would be greatly appreciates).

The toughest thing is staying away from the influx of "mini's" that have been coming on the market with increased frequency. Learn the two different sized holders commonly used (I'm not counting the oversized ones with the mylar baggie). A mini almost looks legit in the smaller holder. I'll dig out my notes and post a little more in detail about the two holders typically used for the issue.

Thanks for the kinds words about the box, Joe. I really love that thing!!!
