1947 BOND BREAD and its "imposters"....show us your cards ?

[mfil5]

Thanks for the response, after doing some digging I found that the guy that my uncle bought them from, Stanley Apfelbaum, was a "controversial" coin dealer before being barred from that and then moved on to sports memorabilia sometime in the 80s. Did anyone else buy from Mr. Apfelbaum's Rookie Card Club in the late 80s? And if so does anyone know if they were legit? The whole story behind these cards is really interesting and I'm just trying to piece all of this together.

Those pictures of the cards you posted were consolidated into one post. Not sure why it didn't work for you...

It's too bad but there are thousands of stories we hear which are similar to this. Many of the stories are contrived but there are a lot of folks who have been duped and just don't know it yet (generally speaking).

btw, great info right there Ted re: Festberg stuff!!
