Let’s rehash the Bond Bread controversy.

I agree that the Perforated cards are hard to find, when you do find them they come at a premium cost. Although the perforated cards share images with the Bond Breads cards as well as others of that era; the perforated cards have nothing to do with Bond Bread.

The cards were actually issued in sheets by a company called “Elgee” for use by various businesses. The set was advertised as 46 cards to a set. It is not clear how many different subjects were included or sets there were. The set consisted of “Sports-Hollywood-Cowboys”.

Some cards have been found imprinted with store advertising, which appears to be rubber stamped. Issues date circa 1940s. Precise dating for this issue is unknown. But many of the images are from late 1930s-1946. These cards are frequently misidentified as Bond Bread cards, even by third party grading companies and auction houses. John
