you may be right about the cards in festburg's "find" not being "reprints"; however, illustrated here is the problem i have with the "festburg cards".
.................1947 bond bread....................."1949 sports star subjects"
.................1947 bond bread.....................card from festburg "find"
backs
note the difference in the discolored cardboard of the festburg "find" card
furthermore, the two jansen cards and the 1947 bond bread stephens card are printed on thicker cardboard than the square stephens card. 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.
