Herpolsheimers and Holsums

I think this card confirms that there is a close relationship between the unique E121 style Herpolsheimers cards and the D327 Holsum Bread cards.

The card is a Herpolsheimers that lists Ping Bodie with Washington. Awhile back, Frank Ward mentioned in a post that the Holsum card of Bodie also lists him with Washington. Bodie never played for Washington, so the two sets share a common, very strange error.

The Holsum Bodie is actually pictured in the SCD Catalog as the example picture for the Holsum set (page 191).
