I started collecting cards in 1947 when my parents bought Bond Bread (B-B). My sister and I carefully removed these B & W cards from the bread packages.
Little did I know back then, that I was getting Rookie cards of Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, and more. I still have the 44 BB players (don't know
what happened to the 4 Boxers in this set).
My favorite 1947 B-B card is the Johnny Lindell card....simply because he was my hero in the 1947 World Series....Yankees vs. Dodgers. Johnny batted .500
in 6 games (9 Hits, 5 Walks, and 7 RBI's). Defensively, in LF he made 2 unbelievable diving catches; and, with his strong arm threw out several Dodgers.
Hey guys......I even have an original 1947 Bond Bread loaf wrapper.
