? THE MOST COVETED POST WAR VINTAGE BASEBALL CARD?

[@jlbaseballcards]

Spectacular pickup!

[@Bluejacket66]

Thanks!

[@jimcreamer4800]

After your video about the REA and Memory Lane auctions I was wondering if you had snagged that card. There aren't many postwar cards even in the discussion with the 311 for most significant but that certainly is one. Love the description of Paige on the back. What a great looking image. Big time card. Congratulations.

wow I did not even know that card existed… i collect some of the big 48 leaf cards but I have to say I ddi not even know that card exsisted until now… the 1948 leaf set is just LOADED with awsome cards… I have 5 of them but did not even know this card was in the set ?? why ???

I want to commend you on your collection especially the odd balls like Kahn's, Stahl-Meyer Mantles, Hires Root Beer, and other regional issues. So many of these reveal and collection aren't worth the time of watching. In fact it was so many of these bad videos on KZbin that I started my own KZbin videos today in fact. I found myself saying "my collection's way better than that" when watching some of the videos. 😂 But I can't say that about yours. I shot a couple videos today got to figure out how to put the thumbnails on there and also whether or not I want to upload the videos to my current channel which is primarily music videos from shows I've been to or whether I want to make a completely different channel. But I digress. Thanks for sharing. Never saw an actual Stahl Meyer before other than photos in an auction catalog.

Dave, respectfully enough with the ‘48-49 distinction. It is recognized in hobby nomenclature as a ‘48 and for that reason it is important to keep its original designation. We all have to have a common “language “ when talking and categorizing things and for the sake of consistency and lack of confusion the original designation should remain unchanged, particularly one which was established well over fifty years ago. By the way, love the card. The color and registration are dynamite fantastic, congrats!

[@51ringside3]

@@Bluejacket66 I’m with you, I like accuracy as well so no argument there. Not sure in this instance though anything was done “blatantly,” by grading companies as these cards have been categorized and described as ‘48’s long before they even got into the game. I guess the “blame” if you want to call it that, goes to the pioneers who first categorized and labeled these as such. I can’t blame PSA or SGC for not wanting to start labeling them differently either. From a business perspective, the blowback would be untenable. Can you imagine if even half of all previously labeled cards were kicked back to them to relabel? The onus would be on them to do it for no charge given they got it wrong. Of course they would argue that they were just following well accepted industry standards at the time though and no one could argue that. Bottom line is, it’s still highly commendable you did your research here and given your respectability in the hobby, most serious hobby enthusiasts (at least those who get on KZbin) understand more about this set now.
