Default 1947 Bond Bread questions

Posted By: PASJD

Some of the text is printed for ease of reading. Many Hall of Famers in the set predating their "rookie" cards, apparently, not just Jackie.

"They are found with either square or rounded corners (hobby publications do not speculate about why), and backs are blank. It has been suggested that these cards were distributed separately from the company's loves of bread, since the cards are rarely found with tell-tale signs of damage caused by the odd shape of bread.

Some collectors refer to the set as "Homogenized Bond Bread," and that designation gets this set confused with the 1947 Bond Bread set. Both sets feature a smilar design and are the same size. Bond Bread cards also have rounded corners. Both sets feature Jackie Robinson cards, however, there is advertising on the back of Bond Bread cards. The biggest difference is that while all 13 of the cards in the Bond Bread set feature Robinson, he is only one of 48 subjects in the Homogenized set. The set features 44 baseball players and four boxers.

Twelve of the 44 baseball players in the set are Hall of Famers, and the cards of Yogi Berra, Ralph Kiner, Stan Musial, Phil Rizzuto, Jackie Robinson and Enos Slughter predate the Bowman and Leaf cards called "rookie cards" by some collectors. Despite the historical significance of the set and the attractive cards, they haven't really caught on with collectors. There are some known reprints floating around the hobby -- some "graded" by unscrupulous and little-known companies -- while a large cache of twenty-four of the set's cards discoverd in the 1980s keeps these cards easily found in hobby circles."
