It's my understanding that only 24 cards (22 BB and Joe Louis & Primo Carnera) were in the sets that Dave Festberg sold.
Is this true for the set you have ?

You may be right about the cards in Festburg's "find" not being "Reprints"; however, illustrated here is the problem I have
with the "Festburg cards".


.................1947 Bond Bread....................."1949 Sports Star Subjects"

.................1947 Bond Bread.....................card from Festburg "find"

BACKS


Note the difference in the discolored cardboard of the Festburg "find" card

Furthermore, the two Jansen cards and the 1947 Bond Bread Stephens card are printed on thicker cardboard than the
SQUARE Stephens card. Also, there is a higher printing quality (contrast) in two Jansen cards and the 1947 Bond Bread
Stephens card with respect to the Stephens card of the Festberg find.

David....one final question....if you tell me that your set has only 24 cards, then what happened to the other 24 cards
in the original set of 48 cards ?
