You have made my day with this statement of yours......

"" Hate to cause confusion, but the cards were sold in 4 boxes of 12 each as "Sports Star Subjects". ""


On the contrary....no "confusion" here, guy. Indeed, confirmation of the SQUARE cards being issued as a
set of their own. It's been my understanding that the SQUARE cards were 1st available in 1949, and into
the 1950's in small boxes. Until now, I have referred to the SQUARE cards as an "unknown" issue. Thanks
to you, now we can identify them as the "Sports Star Subjects" issue.....NOT a "1947 Bond Bread" issue.


Shown here are 3 of the SQUARE cards. Two of which are the BB/Movie Star cards....Lou Boudreau/Ingrid
Bergen and Johnny Mize/Victor Mature.

Also, note the difference in the width of the Bond Bread Jansen card vs its SQUARE card counterpart. The
Bond Bread cards are consistently 1/16 th of an inch narrower.
