Hello everyone, my uncle bought a set of these circa 1988 and we've been wondering for quite some time if these were the actual '47 card set. Alas we now realize that these are most likely not. My question is, are they worth anything and if so, what? Also did anyone else buy from the same people? I've attatched pics of the letter that came with the cards and of the cards themselves. Any info would be much appreciated.

mfil5 Your cards on display in Posts #141, 142 & 143 exactly coincide with my list of the 24 cards in the 1980's find by David Festberg. Furthermore the backs of these cards appear to be "toned" (instead of bright white). Therefore, I would conclude that these cards are not from the original 1949 issued set. What are they worth ? If they get graded and the flip identifies them wrongly as "1947 Bond Bread"......it's anyone's guess ? ? Here is the list of the 24 cards in the Festberg find...... Ewell Blackwell Lou Boudreau Harry Brecheen Primo Carnera Bobby Doerr Bob Elliott Del Ennis Bob Feller Joe Gordon Tommy Holmes Ken Keltner Ralph Kiner Joe Louis Johnny Mize Stan Musial Andy Pafko Johnny Pesky Phil Rizzuto Jackie Robinson Aaron Robinson Johnny Sain Enos Slaughter Vern Stephens Ted Williams TED Z . |

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!! Quote:
