The ROUNDED cornered cards shown here are from my original set of 44 cards that I collected as a kid in 1947 (into 1948).
As I've said before, these Bond Bread cards are my very first BB cards; therefore, I have very fond memories of them.

Note the Tommy Holmes card, it is identical to the Page's Milk card you have. It is my understanding that all 48 cards that
were offered by Page's Milk are identical to the 1947 Bond Bread issue.

Also, Joe Gordon card with the Yankees logo on his uniform that denotes that the Bond Bread set was designed in 1946.

Most important for you to note here is the 2-card examples of Larry Jansen and Vern Stephens. From the printer these
cards were shipped to the Bond Bread factory as SQUARE cornered cards. A die-cut machine at the Bond Bread factory
beveled the corners in order to conform to their bread packaging.

The point I am getting at here, is that the Page Milk cards were acquired directly from the Bond Bread facility.
