More likely than not, yes. Still a nice pick up.

Can you scan the backs of these cards ?

The backs are the key to determining whether these SQUARE cards are from the 1949 Sports Stars 48-card set....or, the 24-cards that were reprinted circa 1980's.

Ted,

Here they are against a piece of white copy paper for background.

I'm sorry to say that your cards are from reprinted 24 (circa 1980's) group.

The original 1947 BOND BREAD cards and the 1949 SPORTS set have bright white backs.

Here is the list of the 24 reprinted cards.....

Itll be interesting what ebay/csg’s verdict will be on this?

I had posted this in the Post War section last week, but I thought posting here might be more appropriate since it was a dedicated thread to the 1947 Bond Bread Jackie.

I bought this card 2 years ago thinking this was the regular base set 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson, but when I sent it to SGC for grading, it was sent back saying "cannot/do not grade", insinuating this card was not from the 1947 set. After it came back, I bought a common card from the actual 1947 set that I knew was legit, and I could tell the difference then in hand, since I could touch and feel them side by side. The Jackie card I have is the exact same size as the authentic 1947 common card, except it's stock is not as thick as the cardboard the authentic common is printed on. The best way I can describe it, is that it's thinner than cardboard, but thicker than a magazine/comic cover, if that makes sense. Is my Jackie card from a later unauthorized reprint set? It's definitely old, which you can see in the pics and in hand. Any ideas on what "imposter" this could be?

Hopefully someone will here.

Good luck

Just curious. Have you read this whole thread?

Illustrious,

Do you have a black light? A uv light? Illuminate the back of the card that you're sure is genuine, then do the same to that Robinson. The greater the difference, the greater your concern should be, I'd think.
