1948-1949 Leaf Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
... Babe Ruth ... Joe DiMaggio ... Honus Wagner ... Jackie Robinson ...
... Ted Williams ... Stan Musial ... Satchel Paige ... Warren Spahn ...
Man was the 1948-1949 Leaf baseball set PACKED !!!
The set was small in numbers and size with only (98) 2-3/8" by 2-7/8"
cards. With only 98 cards, the set was "skip-numbered" with card numbers
from 1 thru 168. Likely an attempt to force collectors to keep buying packs
looking for their missing cards. (49) cards are considered "Short Prints"
and there is one variation card #136: Full Sleeve/Short Sleeve (error)

1956 Topps Pins
Checklist & Values
WOW ! Few issues compare to the 1956 Topps Pins set. The colorful and
attractive 1-1/8" diameter pins were packaged with bubble gum
and featured a color photo of player on front with a pin clasp on back.
Many of the images for pins are the same as on the 1956 Topps cards.
If you collect 1956 Topps cards than YOU MUST add at least one of these
1956 Topps Pin to your collection.
Packed with stars (no Mickey Mantle), the 1956 Topps Pins set
also had a few scarcities such as Chuck Stobbs, Hector Lopez &
Chuck Diering.
In the end, collectors of the day preferred cards to pins and Topps cut back
the 1956 Topps Pin set from a planned 90 pins to just 60.
