The Smoking Gun-
The Smoking Gun-
First I have given thought as to when all the confusion around the cards we call Bond Bond became mainstream. It was around 1988 when we as collectors did see more confusion, mayhem, and chaos come to a head around the cards we call Bond Bread. Before 1988 old-timers did not have the cares we do today around the cards we call Bond Bread. So I have tried connecting with these old-times to see what they knew that we do not. I have posted what these old-timers have told me. But I can only say that information has given us only about a 90% understanding of the confusion around the cards we call Bond Bread.
I have been looking for that smoking gun that would give us 100% proof. I believed that proof could come from what Ted Z posted in Net54baseball. But most of what I read did more harm than good. What Ted Z posted in Net54baseball added to the confusion.
(1947 BOND BREAD and its "imposters"....show us your cards? ) by Ted Z; did cause a lot of confusion. But that post has also given some of the answers… to that confusion. Dave Hornish is just one who posted in Net54baseball, I see this as the smoking gun. It has been there all this time…4/7/2009. I believe that David Hornish post has the answer to most of the confusion around the square cut cards and Festburg cards we call Bond Bread W571., and the BCS cards.
Dave Hornish posted in: 1947 BOND BREAD and its "imposters"....show us your cards? An article from Sports Collectors Digest, by Bob Schulhof, January 22, 1993. Dave Hornish: “I have been reading this thread with interest and have now scanned a 1/22/93 SCD article concerning the 24 card "subset". Whether or not the author's comments are all true I cannot say but it does shed some light no matter”
Shed some light, that is understated, maybe not when David Hornish posted that statement. But with all the information that has come forward from this investigation that article does confirm what other eyewitnesses have said. For me it is the confirmation that was needed, I now have no problem in saying- the information I have given is 99% correct. More to come. John
