Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>OK guys, I am 66 years old and the one great feature of aging is that your<br />mind starts reverting back to your youth. And, believe it or not, recalling<br />happy events when you were 15 or 10 or even 5 years old becomes clearer as<br />you age. These 1947 Homogenized Bond Bread cards were the first BaseBall<br />cards I collected growing up in Hillside, NJ. I lived only two blocks away<br />from "The Scooter" Rizzuto. I mention this because obviously I was an avid<br />Yankee fan and was only interested in collecting the Yankee cards.<br /><br /> I do have the complete set (48 cards); and, the fronts of 5 Yankees<br />(Joe DiMag, Berra, Lindell, Keller, and Rizzuto) that are in the set are <br />identically derived from the 1947 Yankee Stadium Photo packs. The same goes<br />for the 7 Dodgers (Ebbets Field Pix) and the 7 NY Giants (Polo Grounds Pix).<br /> Two additional Yankees (Joe Gordon and Aaron Robinson are action pictures<br />that were taken in spring training. At least 12 other player's pictures<br />reflect spring training backgrounds.<br /><br />I clearly recall that I bought these Bread cards before the 1948 Bowmans were<br />available.<br /><br />The fact that I also collected the three 1947 NY Team Photo packs and am able<br />to compare the pictures has me convinced that this set was issued either in<br />the summer, or for sure by the fall of 1947. The Johnny Lindell card in the <br />set, I vaguely recall trading for with a classmate while attending Greek<br />school in the fall of 1947. My sister would be able to confirm this and I <br />will inquire of her.<br /><br />The Jackie Robinson Bond Bread set (13 cards) is a subset that had limited<br />distribution. Barry Sloate's take on this is probably pretty accurate.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Hal,<br /> As I said I have the 1947 Homogenized Bond Bread set of 48 cards. But,<br /> I'm sorry I don't have a scanner or a digital camera. So, you have to take<br /> my word that the Jackie I have is an original. Altho, this one is not of the<br /> cards from my youthful collection, it is nevertheless, one I have had for<br /> many years. Its corners are factory beveled, as are the other 47 cards in<br /> my set.<br /><br /> And, since you seem to be a "purist" regarding true Rookie cards, consider<br /> others that are included in this set: Yogi Berra, Joe Gordon (as a Yankee),<br />Ewell Blackwell, Ralph Branca, Del Ennis, Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges, Ralph<br /> Kiner, Stan Musial, Johnny Sain, and Bobby Thomson.<br /><br /> Of course the overarching question is....can this set be considered a major <br /> national issue ? I believe it is, based on my many years' conversations<br /> with veterans in the hobby. But, I could be proven wrong in this belief.<br /><br /> One additional bit of info regarding the "square-corner" Reprints. There is<br /> a definite difference in the card stock. The Reprint cards, when compared to<br /> the original 1947 cards, have a noticeably thinner feel to them.
