1948 LEAF FOOTBALL CARDS UNCUT SHEETS  

EXTREMELY RARE, UNIQUE GROUP OF UNCUT PARTIAL SHEETS:  1948 LEAF FOOTBALL CARDS:  THIS GROUP CONSISTS OF 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS, THAT WHEN FITTED TOGETHER, LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE, MAKE UP 2 PARTIAL SHEETS, OF THE FIRST SHEET (NUMBERS 1-49), OF THE ORIGINAL 98 CARD SET. SINCE THE BLOCKS FIT TOGETHER EXACTLY, THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY CUT INTO THE 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS FROM 2 ORIGINAL UNCUT SHEETS.

THE PICTURES SHOWN IN THIS LISTING SHOW, 1. ALL 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS LAID OUT AS 2 PARTIAL SHEETS; 2. ALL 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS, MOVED APART SLIGHTLY, WHERE THEY FIT TOGETHER, TO SHOW THE 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS, SEPARATED; 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. ALL 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS, INDIVIDUALLY; 10. ALL 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS LAID OUT AS 2 PARTIAL SHEETS, FROM THE REVERSE SIDE; 11. ALL 7 UNCUT CARD BLOCKS, OVERLAPPED, WHERE THE 2 PARTIAL SHEETS SHARE A DUPLICATE ROW OF CARDS, TO SHOW HOW THE REVERSE SIDE WOULD LOOK AS 1 UNCUT SHEET. THIS SHOWS THE ONLY CARDS MISSING ARE #29 CHARLEY TRIPPI, AND #30 PAUL GOVERNALI, WHILE #24 JAMES MARTIN, #25 ELMER 'BUD' ANGSMAN, #26 BOB WATERFIELD, #27 FRED DAVIS, AND #28 AL 'WHITEY' WISTERT HAVE DUPLICATES. THIS ALSO CONFIRMS THEORIES AS TO HOW THESE SHEETS WERE PUT TOGETHER, BY THE MANUFACTURER, SINCE,

THERE IS NO RECORD OF ANY UNCUT SHEETS OF 1948 LEAF FOOTBALL HAVING EVER BEEN DISCOVERED OR SOLD.
