Default D305 Bond Bread set vs SQUARE Reprints

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

I have seen a Walker Cooper with SQUARE corners pasted in an album collection which had a lot of Movie Stars.
There were a few of the BB players (also SQUARE cards) in this collection and if I recall correctly they were all
NY Giants. If this is correct, then we can say that these 1st reprinted cards from the original 1947 Homogenized
Bond Bread issue were subsequently printed sometime in 1949, as Walker Cooper was traded from the Giants on
June 13, 1949.

Do you have either the SQUARE card or the Exhibit of Walker Cooper, so you can indeed confirm that he is depicted
as NY Giant ?
This information would be very valuable in unraveling this mystery of when the initial SQUARE cards were produced.

Thanks very much for your input on this subject,

TED Z
