HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Net54er's

Here's George Raft (upper rightmost) and 9 of the major Movie Stars in this set (circa 1949).
Incidently, the backs of these cards are white.

George Raft had close connections to Baseball. As a 15-year old, he was a bat-boy for the New York Highlanders (circa 1910).
He also tried out for semi-pro baseball before becoming a movie star. An avid baseball fan, George Raft attended every World
Series from the late 1920's thru to 1957.

Rita Hayworth....nothing wrong with that!!!!

A few weeks ago my best friend from H.S. brought me some of his cards
to take a look at and give him an idea on the value of some of them.

Among them were these cards. I remember him telling me about them
when he got them. His mother purchased them for him through an add
in the NY Times back in the late 80's-early 90's.

I found this old thread while doing some research and I believe they
must have come from the "Festberg" find. Is there any new info on
these, any idea's on the value of them. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Patrick

Pat.....guess you can call this an imposter. I dont recall the name of this set. It has the same front of Aaron Robinson one side(as one of the cards you have) and an actor(recognize the face but dont know actor's name) on other side of the card. Presumably same year.

So is there a conclusion as to the designation of the square borders and are they listed in the Standard Catalog?

Also, there is a higher printing quality (contrast) in two jansen cards and the 1947 bond bread stephens card with respect to the stephens card of the festberg find.

What do you think? Is it a 1947 or later

It looks like a 1947 from the BOND BREAD packages. All four corners appear to have a (partial) bevel. I say "partial" since the corner cuts
are not clean-cut.

I wish the seller would have shown the back of this card....in order for me to be certain that it is an original 1947.

Picked this up recently and it seems to be made by the same production people as the Bond etc. cards and related materials. It is the size of a commemorative postage stamp, blank backed, real photo.
