[QUOTE=On another note... in my research, I have also discovered that the 1948 date assigned to the Old Gold cigarette cards of Jackie Robinson is incorrect. Both cards were released in 1947. The Kneeling in Dugout card was actually released in September of 1947, and the Leaping card was released in October of 1947. As such, neither card was released in 1948 as was previously believed.
In fact, the Kneeling card that I own features a hand-written date of Sept 30th, 1947 written in pencil on the front of the card.[/QUOTE]
Other than the pencil marking, which could be unreliable, are you able to share what other information leads you to believe the Old Gold cards date to 1947? Thank you very much!
