Of the major post-war editions, the 1949 Leaf set contains among the most difficult shortprints. Presented is a viable low to mid-grade (11) card shortprint collection, two of which are Hall of Famers. Featuring blazing red backgrounds, a couple of examples reveal the frequent creasing associated with the series. Aside from creasing, only minor edge and corner wear are present which do not detract from the overall appeal on this selection. Included are #5 Trucks (GD), #30 Goodman (GD-VG), #33 Lowrey (VG/VG-EX), #36 Zarilla (VG), #81 Kurowski (GD), #120 Kell (GD), #127 Slaughter (GD-VG), #129 Higbe EX-MT, o/c), #131 Gordon (GD-VG), #149 Majeski (EX/EX-MT) and #163 Hutchinson (GD). A premier opportunity to secure and exceptionally difficult collection.
