Cards I Love Part 9 - 1948 Leaf Stan Musial

I do not know if anyone has ever done a list of the greatest Cardinals baseball cards, but the 1948 Leaf Stan Musial would be near the top of the list.  I also really like his 1948 Bowman card, I just don't own one, so this Leaf card is the best Musial card in my collection.  It's one of the best cards of the best Cardinals player of all-time. 

I picked up a copy of this card about five or six years ago after having a good month selling off some cards from my collection.  It felt like a bit of an accomplishment to pick up this card.  There is not a really cool story, other than the fact that I found a pretty clean copy, and went for it.

This is my copy.  

The centering is way off, and I am fine with that.  The surface has a few little dings, and I am fine with that too.  The edges and corners pretty are clean.  

I had a dream card as a kid, and it's got a post coming up in a few days.  As an adult, I am not sure that I have had a singular dream card, but this has been one of my favorite cards I have picked up over the past couple of years.  If I had to rank all the vintage cards that I have added to my collection since I have been blogging, this would be at the top of the list.
