New in the Gallery: 1948 Leaf Football Cards
November 30th, 2010 | Published in New in the Gallery
Over the weekend I added 1948 Leaf football cards to the Vintage Football Card Gallery. I would like to thank Legacy Sports Rarities, who provided most of the images, and Scott Alpaugh (OTWCards), who provided images of the variations in the set. So far I have added the 1948 Leaf variations recognized by the price guides and grading services, but Scott has documented several more variations, and I hope to add those soon.
Pictured here is one of the variations, the “red pants” version of Bobby Layne’s rookie card. The other variation, which is more common, shows Layne in yellow pants. Both variations have Layne’s first name misspelled.
For more details on the 1948 and 1949 Leaf sets, see my earlier blog article, L is for Leaf. I also updated that article over the weekend, adding links where appropriate to the 1948 cards in the Gallery.
