The 1948 Leaf boxing set is one of the two post-World War II boxing sets issued by a major gum manufacturer. It consists of 49 different regular issue cards plus the T206 Wagner of boxing the Rocky Graziano. Printing quality is the biggest problem with 1948 Leaf cards. The company was notorious for press mistakes. We are pleased to offer a variety of cards representing the “best” of Leaf’s quality control: 1948 Leaf cards were printed in a single sheet of 49 cards: seven rows of seven cards each. If the sheet was flipped around 180 degrees accidentally one side or the other would be printed upside down and because of the alignment of the printing on each side the fronts and backs of the cards would not line up. If that sheet was then stacked face up and cut with the fronts of the cards properly aligned like a normal card the backs would have the wrong biographies and they would be upside down and off-center. That is precisely what happened with these six cards: Johnny Coulon Georges Carpentier Sammy Angott Tommy Loughran Al Hostak and Freddy Steele.
