Hal LewisBarry - you are correct. My bad.
The 2005 "big book" calls them "1947 Bond Bread" in the big bold title...
but the fine print clarifies that this set was issued by HOMOGENIZED BOND Bread.
I didn't know there was a difference... until you just pointed it out.
Apparently Festberg had 100,000 of these because there were 100,000 of these REPRINTED in the 1990's, huh? That's what the "big book" says.

OK, so then I must ask the follow-up question:
Assuming there are some GENUINE Jackie Robinson cards from this "Homogenized Bond Bread" set (in which he is card #37) out there...
how nationally was IT distributed and how do we know IT is from 1947?
Do those backs have any dating information?
