There is a copy of the Baseball card society letter on the original thread, this is what Ted Z wrote about that letter:
From the original By Ted Zanidakis thread: "This document appears to be the evidence regarding the source of the RE-printed "1947 Bond Bread" cards which David Festberg discovered in a NJ warehouse in the 1980's. It is not dated, however in it's text it implies a circa 1980's date, which does coincide with Festberg's find. Plus, the fact that 24 cards are being advertised. The original BOND BREAD set of cards consists of 48 cards.
When I first saw these cards in the early 1990's at the Philly Show, I purchased several of them. When I got home, I compared them to my original 1947 BOND BREAD cards, which I collected in my youth. And, it was very obvious, that these were inferior reproductions." TED Z
The cards you have does not look inferior in anyway, but a true 1947-1949 card to me, and that's where I would place it. John
