Key:  Additions   Deletions
In 1948 new sets of pro football cards appeared. One set was issued by the Bowman Gum Company and another by the Leaf Gum Company. Also, postcard size "Exhibit Cards" could be bought for a penny from vending machines.

Charley Conerly had an Exhibit Card, a Bowman card, and a Leaf card.
