Sometimes, you just have to . . .

No idea of the value, but since I've never seen one, I figured this would be the perfect addition to my 1948 Leaf Football set, so I bid to win.

Now, if only I can find a wrapper and my white whale, a sealed pack!!!

    Yes, Sean... Legendary closes by the lot, so my lot closed about an hour after final bidding closed.

    Let's see now I was born in November of 48. The box looks to be in better shape than me. MMMMMM?

    Nice pick up.

    Great piece image
  • This thread is worthless without pics!

    Oh, nevermind. Sweet item, however I'm just not liking your focus. I mean really? How about doing what real collectors do? Get hammered and buy random items at will, resulting in a cram-packed card closet full of items that you have no interest in.

    This whole themed-collection just bothers me, even though it is a very impressive collection.

    Scott ... Great addition! I always think it's kewl to add on to a complete set with Wrappers, inserts from the packs and a box.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Great addition to your set and good luck with the pack and the wrapper. Have you ever seen a pack up for auction?

    This is the closest I could come to finding a wrapper for you image

    I found a 1948 Bowman wrapper for sale, it might be easier for you to just start a 48 Bowman set then to find a 48 Leaf wrapper image

    That, at this time, is still uncertain. It will probably remain in safe storage until I manage to track down a wrapper...

    Been there, done that. Accordingly, a more narrow focus has allowed me to stash cash for such convoluted purchases... I'm just thankful that the closing price isn't showing, yet so I don't get mocked for what I spent on an old, empty box.

    Thanks to all for the kind words...

    The Wire Photo project is still in place as well as the autographs. After some intial success on the photos, things dried up. And I'm at a serious roadblock on the autographs... This will have to suffice for now.

    That's tremendous! What a fantastic addition to help further complete the 48 set.
  • Nice box!!!! I've got a box at home that's a little nicer and A LOT younger, lol, but that was a good box you picked up! image
