1948 Leaf BABE RUTH



The 1948 Leaf set was the first color baseball cards issued after World War II, and consisted of 98 baseball players. The complete set consists of 168 cards, but also includes football and boxing cards. This is one of the more difficult of the post-war era sets to complete, mainly because one-half of the set (49 cards), are considered to be “short print” cards.

The 1948 Babe Ruth card was his last "real" baseball card, as he died August 16 of that year.

This Babe Ruth card is currently in our ebay store.
