So the mystery deepens. It seems the cards I have match the checklist for the 1947 Bond Bread with most of them being from the square corner find found in the 1980s.

Here are the 17 common cards
(3)* Ewell Blackwell
(4)* Lou Boudreau
(6)* Harry Brecheen
(9)* Bobbie Doerr (Bobby)
(11)* Bob Elliott
(12)* Del Ennis
(13)* Bob Feller
(16)* Joe Gordon
(19)* Tommy Holmes
(24)* Ken Keltner
(26)* Ralph Kiner
(30)* Johnny Mize
(33)* Johnny Pesky
(36)* Aaron Robinson
(38)* John Sain
(39)* Enos Slaughter
(40)* Vern Stephens


Then 7 more uncommon cards
(20) Larry Janson (Jansen)
(21) Sheldon Jones
(22) Edwin Joost
(27) John Lindell
(28) Whitey Lockman
(41) George Tebbetts
(43) Johnny Van Der Meer (VanderMeer)


The kicker is I have a Walker Cooper that isn't listed on old cardboard.
Also I am not clear on what Old Cardboard is saying here"Note: The Bond Bread set was originally issued with round corners. In the 1980's a large stash of square cornered cards were "discovered" in a New York warehouse and are the most common of the cards seen today. The square-cornered cards are known for exactly one-half of the set (24 of the 48 cards; including 2 of the 4 boxers) and are identified with an asterisk (*) in the above checklist."


Does this mean that only those 24 cards had square corners or that only those 24 cards were in the find and that everyone is available on the checklist. All my cards have square corners. Regardless it seems Cooper needs to be added to the OC listing.
