Leaf 1948-9 Baseball Card Values

This set was issued over two years. It contains 98 cards in total, but is irregularly numbered between 1 and 168. Some numbers were short printed and many cards are difficult to find in decent condition. Key cards include Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and the rookie cards of Jackie Robinson and Leroy "Satchell" Paige. Other notable rookies include Ralph Kiner, George Kell, Larry Doby, Warren Spahn and Enos Slaughter.

Centering and overall condition are extremely important when evaluating baseball card values. Hobbizine vintage baseball card value guides list prices in five grades from Good to Mint. See the bottom of this page for more information about how these prices and grades are established.
