A certain paperback book consists of "leaves", or sheets of paper, with sequentially numbered pages on the front and back of each leaf. One leaf has been torn out, but the remaining page numbers add up to 15,000.

What pages were on the missing leaf?

Clarification

Alex Y

The paperback may have blank or other unnumbered pages before and after the text, but none (with illustrations, etc.) within the text. Page number one is on the right side of the open book, so the first leaf with page numbers has 1 and 2.
