Let’s rehash the Bond Bread controversy.

In Post 156- I made a lot of wild accusations, just theory mine you. I was hoping to get some reaction from that post. I wanted to start up a conversation, because not as many people are interacting with this post as I believe they would.

There has to be more people like Ted Z, who has collected the 48 card set, the set that was inserted into loaves of Bond Bread. If so please post pictures, I have never seen all the images on the cards, I sure would like to. There has to people who collected the 24 card set before the Festberg find. People with first hand knowledge.

Haven said that - the wild accusation I thought would get the most attention was…”Could it have been a licensing issue, or because BCS said they pick the best out of the 48 card set to sell. Maybe the printer or the people responsible for the printing of the 24 card set (Festberg) believe they were the best of the 48 card set, because of what BCS had said. Did they believe it would be much easier to promote and sell a 24 card set?”

Stop and think about it, the BCS set was not for sale until the 1990s, although the set was produced in 1947. There is no way the printer or people who had the cards produced, would have known that BCS picked the best 24 cards out of a 48 card set. Understand I have found no connection between the 24 card set issued in 1947 or the Festberg find, to the BCS issues.

The theory that the people responsible for the printing of the 24 card set believed that it would be easier and cheaper to sell a 24 card set over a 48 card is believable. That is one theory we can understand as to why a 24 card set was produced in the first place. John
