1949 Leaf set

Retired Firefighter Was Undaunted by 1948-49 Leaf Baseball Set Challenges

April 19, 2023 By David Seideman

Mike Ryan was the bravest of the brave throughout his long career as a fireman rushing in and out of burning buildings in Los Angeles. For the past 35 years, he’s also shown bravery in his approach to baseball card collecting, never backing down from the biggest challenges within the hobby. He acquired 512 of the 524 cards in the T206 set,  all in at least very good … [Read more...] about Retired Firefighter Was Undaunted by 1948-49 Leaf Baseball Set Challenges

“Partnerone Collection” Brings Hundreds of Iconic Baseball Cards to Market

September 4, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Some collections span decades.  Others measure their scope in centuries.  An example of the latter is now on the auction block. Pieced together by a single collector who used a discriminating eye and a love of baseball to tell the story of the game’s best players from the 1880s to the early 2000s, it’s now being liquidated through Heritage Auctions, card by … [Read more...] about “Partnerone Collection” Brings Hundreds of Iconic Baseball Cards to Market

Trio of Cards from Top Leaf Baseball Set Brings Over $1 Million

November 18, 2018 By Rich Mueller

It pays to be first. The finest PSA-graded 1948-49 Leaf Baseball set was broken up and sold in Heritage Auctions' latest catalog sale and it took just three cards to push the combined total realized price to over $1 million.  Many of the cards in the set had either never been offered at auction before or hadn't been available for a long time. A PSA 8 copy of the rare … [Read more...] about Trio of Cards from Top Leaf Baseball Set Brings Over $1 Million

Number One Rated 1948 Leaf Baseball Set Up for Grabs

November 8, 2018 By Rich Mueller

If you've snuck a peek at the PSA Set Registry anytime in the last ten years, you've seen it atop all registered sets of 1948 Leaf baseball.  A cardboard unicorn of virtually impossible high-grade cards from a production run that was notorious for overprints and off-center cards galore. Now, the old gang is breaking up. All of the cards in the long-running number … [Read more...] about Number One Rated 1948 Leaf Baseball Set Up for Grabs

Crunching the Numbers: High-Grade Jackie Robinson Cards

October 8, 2018 By Rich Mueller

Jackie Robinson 1949 Bowman

The checklist is a short one.  During his relatively short playing career, Jackie Robinson appeared on baseball cards for a very limited amount of time.  While they're all very desirable and many represent key cards in some very popular vintage sets, high-grade Robinson cards bring robust interest whenever they're offered for auction.   But which years … [Read more...] about Crunching the Numbers: High-Grade Jackie Robinson Cards

7 Must-Have Baseball Cards from the 1940s

September 11, 2017 By Rich Mueller

1941 Play Ball DiMaggio

The 1930s brought Goudeys and Diamond Stars.  The '50s saw the dawn of Topps.  The 40s? "Limited" would be the word that comes to mind for collectors. After the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, there were no major mainstream sets issued until 1948--a full three years after the hostilities ceased.   Surprisingly, though, there is plenty of history … [Read more...] about 7 Must-Have Baseball Cards from the 1940s

The Underappreciated 1949 Leaf Premiums Set

September 10, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Youngsters who bought Leaf baseball cards nearly 70 years ago had another set to collect, but unless dad was willing to share some knowledge, those “old timers” may not have generated much of a buzz on the playground.  Today, the 1949 Leaf Premiums might be among the most underappreciated vintage cards in the hobby. Each box of Leaf bubble gum cards supposedly … [Read more...] about The Underappreciated 1949 Leaf Premiums Set

5 Great Cards of Baseball Pioneer Larry Doby

July 4, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Larry Doby 1952 Topps

He was the first player to go directly from the Negro Leagues to Major League Baseball. His struggles as the first black player in the American League are sometimes overlooked by the focus on Jackie Robinson but they were every bit as real.  The vast majority of his Cleveland teammates were chilly at best in those early days.  On the field, he struggled too, in the … [Read more...] about 5 Great Cards of Baseball Pioneer Larry Doby
