What was the first baseball card you ever purchased?

Spring/Summer of 1947

My folks preferred BOND BREAD....so, my sister and I had fun carefully pulling out of the bread loaf packages these neat B/W BB cards. I still have them.

We were just 7 and 8 years old, respectively....and, I still recall how excited she and I would get, finding a Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams,
Stan Musial, or Phil Rizzuto (our nearby neighbor in Hillside, NJ).

My Father and my Uncle Chris owned restaurants, so we convinced them to by Bond Bread in order for us have a larger source of these BB cards (plus,
the four Boxers in the set).

Anyone of these cards were my very first Sportscard......
