These are all the columns by Barker that appeared in Sports Exchange Trading Post (SETP), at least from January 1947 on. Sorry if the beginning part of this post was too long-winded to read, but each of these articles is from a different issue of SETP between February 1949 and October 1949. (The Remar article was in the November 1949 issue, and was written by somebody else.) Wirt Gammon wrote a semi-regular column on baseball collecting throughout the three-year period I have (January 1947-January 1950), but there's not much in there about cards, and I don't remember seeing anything about Bond Bread cards. I was thinking about posting those Gammon columns, and if I do, I'll try to look through the rest of the issues for any mention of cards. But like I said in the original post, most of SETP was focused on things like autographs, programs, publications, and scrapbooking/newspaper clippings.
