Do we know which Jackie Robinson card was issued first....the regular issue 1947 BOND BREAD card shown here, or his special series of 13 cards (example, your scan) ?
I remember pulling the regular issue cards from BOND Bread packages in the Fall of 1947.
The special series cards of Jackie were never available in our neighborhood in Hillside, NJ.
