1948-49 Leaf vs. 1952 Topps

To do a full Leaf set would cover all the variations and the SP's. The latter will eat up your wallet if you can find them and find them in better grades. The '52T, including the high series are more common, pricey, yes, but more common to find than the Leaf SP's.

If variations are included, and if that includes the 131- 180 gray backs in the 1952 set, they are much scarcer and harder to find in decent grades than the high number cards. Plus the issue of two variations of the Mantle, Thompson and Robinson. Then too, there is that Bartirome card

And then too there is Bob who is always clouding debates with facts
