The man many consider the best all-around player in baseball history, Honus Wagner escaped the coal mines of Pennsylvania to become a baseball legend. His natural abilities and spirit are the subject of legends which will last lifetimes to come. As such, items related to him have become amongst the most cherished and desired.Offered is Wagner 1948-49 Leaf card, graded NM-MT (8) by SGC. This particular Wagner specimen was part of a run of Leaf cards that was the first of the post World War II era to be printed in color. To this day it maintains its fresh and brilliant appearance along with straight edges, nice corners, and bold text on its reverse. A nice addition to any high-grade collection and possibly the missing piece to one of the most difficult post-war set to complete.
