PSA SET REVIEWS
1948 Leaf Football Set: 60 Years of No. 60
Football cards continue to rise in popularity and the prices realized for key vintage examples are evidence of that trend.
The 1948 Leaf football issue is one of the true classics. Extraordinarily tough with a nice selection of rookie cards and
stars, this set has collectors clamoring for it. The set, which booms with eye-appeal in high-grade, is one of the most
coveted of all vintage football issues. In the following piece, collectors share why they find this set so intriguing.

Clash of the Titans
Babe Ruth is, perhaps, the most celebrated athlete in sports history. When it comes to his cards, there are some classic issues.

PSA Q & A
Question:
What is Shoeless Joe Jackson's best card?
Answer:
Great question. I think the problem is defining what "best" means. Most people consider his rookie card to be the E90-1
issue while the T210 Jackson is considered a better looking card since the image is more striking and detailed. Perhaps the
most popular of all of Jackson's cards is his 1914/15 Cracker Jack card. It may not be as valuable as either of the aforementioned
rarities but the popularity of the set and the stunning visual appeal make it a collector favorite.
