The intricacies of the 1948 and 49 Leaf baseball and football sets lie in their condition sensitivity the scarcity of their short prints and their many variations. One of the set"s well-known and highly chased errors is with card #102 of Dodgers outfielder Gene Hermanski. Early in the set"s production run it was discovered that Leaf left the "I" off Hermanski"s last name on the card front and they were able to correct the error. This of course led to the "Hermansk" error becoming one of the more scarce and popular error cards of the gum card era.Today despite the card"s popularity its graded population remains scarce with "Hermansk" errors graded at less than half the rate of the more common version of the card. High-grade examples of the Hermansk are particularly scarce; mid-grade examples such as this one are in high demand as a result.Population Data:PSA Population: 78 total graded 10 at this level 44 higherSGC Population: 7 total graded none at this level 5 higher
