Default Bond Bread again.

Bond Bread again. I am no expert, but we as collectors have merged 3 maybe 4 separate bb cards issued at different times. We call 3 totally different and separate issued bb cars from 1947 and call them all Bond Bread, D 305.
First, we have the 1947 Jackie Robinson 13 set issue, distributed by Bond Bread. These ars squared cards, but the image on the cards are round...rounded corners inside a white squared card. The backs have Bond Bread advertisement.
The second set is the 1947 48 card set, these cards have rounded corners that came in Bond Homogenized Bread. Nothing on the backs of the cards.
The third is the 1947 24 set, squared corners and printed on thinker stock, nothing on backs, distributor unknow, most likely dispensed in arcades. Some of the images on the 24 and 48 bb cards sets are the same. But they are different issues for sure. I say the 24 set are not counterfeited like some say. Facks and reprints come in all bb cards. But if you were going to make a fake...you would come close as possible to the originals, not have squared coroners or on thinker stock.
As to the 80s set, on square edge cards, supposedly a stash of uncut cards from 1947, could be reprinted, but not fake or counterfeited, they would have had to be printed from an original photostat. The 24 squared 1947 bb cards and the 1980s set could be unlicensed issues.
ok, we need to come up with 4 totally total different ways to distinguish them. I believe the only true Bond Bread cards are the 1947 Jackie Robinson set distributed by Bond Bread. And the 1947 Bond Homogenized Bread bb cards that came in the bread itself. Why not call the 1947 squared 24 set an unknown set, like 1947 squared unknown set. And the 1980s, 1980 set unknown. people who know a whole lot more than me can fix this. They all cannot be distinguished D 305 cards...oh what about the premiums of the lager size sets?
