1948 Leaf Knock Out boxing cards share the unconventional numbering of Leaf’s baseball set from the same year. There are 50 cards in total for this set but the numbering goes up to 102 which, no doubt, left contemporary collectors searching for 52 very impossible cards to find.
The card design follows the standard 1948 design for Leaf with a color palette that broadened the possibility for printing defects.
