Here is what the Talmud has revealed thus far:

The ORIGINAL set of 48 cards were distributed by "Homogenized Bond Bread" with ROUNDED CORNERS and blank backs.

In the 1980's, a VERY LARGE quanity of REPRINTS appeared on the market... but these all had SQUARE CORNERS and blank backs.

SO... there is nothing on the back of these card to specifically date them to 1947... and since the set includes Jackie Robinson it must have been printed sometime later than Opening Day 1947.

To date, PSA has only graded ONE CARD from the 1947 Homogenized Bond Bread set... a Ted Williams card with rounded corners.
