The
1949 Leaf baseball card set consists of 98 baseball cards numbered
1-168 (numbers Jump) that measure
2 3/8" by 2 7/8" Some cards have a 1948
copyright date but overwhelming evidence seemed to indicate that
this set was not actually released until early in 1949. An album to
hold these cards was available as a premium. The album could only be
obtained by sending in five wrappers and 25 cents.
