Ted, with all due respect I know you are very experienced on these but do you really think Homogenized Bread physically mfg'd these cards? I knew they were a D305 type card immediately. I also would respectfully dispute your timeline unless you have evidence. Personally I think these were probably put out in multiple years, probably '48 and '49. Hey, I knew they were recycled but so were many of the other overprint sets....To me they are a new set of cards. BTW, have you seen others of these?
