Well, they can't be both Bond Breads and Sports Star Subjects unless there was a surplus of Bond Breads that were re-released as Sports Star Subjects, which could be a possibility I suppose. My issue, and perhaps misunderstanding, was that Sports Star Subjects had square corners (never rounded) and Bond Bread/Homogenized Bread had cropped/rounded corners (never square). I always assumed grading company error if there was confusion in this regard. Interestingly, I've never seen either versions of these cards labeled as "Sports Star Subjects". Both square and round get labeled as Bond/Homogenized Bread, IMO incorrectly when square cornered.
