It has a secretarial signature which is why wasn't authenticated or claimed to be signed even though it is original vintage.
I wanted to give more context to Robinson and the Bond Bread series, but the show didn't allow for that and cut a lot of historical reference footage that would have been more informative.
There are very few complete Bond Bread sets that exist in the hobby. I seriously doubt that Memory Lane sold one recently as Dan claimed for that amount which distorts the value. Given the continued appreciation for other Robinson rookie cards, this is what it is worth to me.
Jackie is timeless and frankly his transformative and successful example of mutual respect is the answer to the painful divisiveness we are witnessing in society today.

Hey Matt, I didn't get to see the show (no cable) but saw the facebook clip linked here. Really sick that you were able to get on the show and showcase the set. Wish they would have brought more of the history into it (its distribution etc) but I guess that wouldn't have made for great soundbytes and TV. I believe the last set auctioned off as a full set was our mutual friend's set with Goldin Auctions a few years ago. Soon after he sold the set, the market for the cards jumped strongly.
I know Heritage broke a set to sell each card individually. I don't believe ML sold a set... I did take some time off from cards, but I've done as much as I can to track sales.
FWIW, I don't remember the exact time frame it took for me to complete my set, but I believe it was between 4 and 5 years.
