I want to echo this link. Packed full of great info on this set. It helped me tremendously last year finding a Stan Musial for my Musial collection. Thanks to Ted Z and others for the great info helping all of us newbies out.

Ok so being the jackie fan that I am, I obviously have a lot of interest in this card that just popped up on ebay..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-Orig-Ho...sAAOSwr7ZW3kEu


Now the thing is I can not find this card anywhere on google searches and VCP has the last one being sold for 1550 in 2014 and 750 before that in 2012. Is this card really that much? seems steep but im not sure. any thoughts? Does anyone have a good grasp on the value of this card or seen it go at auction in any other grade?

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Bump Please. I'd love to add this to my collection. Thanks everyone.

You are probably finding results from the Homogenized Bond cards of Robinson with the printed backs. Totally different series.

This is what I see. weird

The card in your photo post looks like the square corner Robinson.

As far as the ebay listing, I have been buying/selling these SGC graded Bond Bread cards for several years. The Williams, Robinson, Musial and even the Reese sell very well. For a low-grade Williams or Robinson I expect $100-150 range. For a high-grade, Williams and Robinson may reach a lot higher. I saw a Williams SGC 9 sell for $1000 last summer. From your numbers a few posts ago, both could be realistic prices even for this card (although more likely 9+ range cards). As Exhibitman noted, the Bond Bread Robinson series is more popular and much more valuable, but these small Bonds in high-grade can costly.

I second that Drew, there really is very little other information on these cards anywhere else. I've spent hours coming back and forth to this old thread over the last 2 months or so. Starting the first day we found a deck of these among my Dads memorabilia that has sat in a box since he passed in the early 80's.
At first I figured, Oh sure they're probably the "wrong" ones. But in using Teds info I realized we did indeed have something. Then to be sure I scanned a few to SGC and then started the grading process with them.
This site and especially Ted's old thread was my only real resource in identifying them. It's why I thanked Ted at the start of this new thread =]

Exhibitman,
If you are still keeping a running list of the dual-sided, perforated, I found a new one that I sent in for TPG grading:
Lou Boudreau front/Ingrid Bergman back.

Still looking for new ones to surface.

Here's a Johnny Mize / Victor Mature card....and, another Lou Boudreau / Ingrid Bergman card.


1947 Bond Bread

1949-50 Sports Star Subjects




Sally, et al

The Square cornered Larry Jansen card in the above scan is from the aforementioned 1949-1950 B/W cards issued under the name....Sports Star Subjects.

Thank you Ted, I really did "get" all that info from your 7 years ago archived post. You were very easy to understand and seem to be the most knowledgeable on the subject. I was unable to find anyone else that had the info you did. I suppose it helped you collected them fresh from the bags It makes me think and picture, my Dad possibly doing the same thing in '47. I know his Dad (my Granddad) was a HUGE Yankee fan and they would take trips into NY (from CT) to watch them play when my dad was a boy.
My granddad was blind by the time I was born and I remember sitting on his porch in the 60's listening to the games on his old brown Bakelite radio while he smoked his pipe and yelled at the radio.
Based on the info you "taught" me through that old thread I was able to differentiate that I did indeed have the 1947 Bond Bread Set.
No square corners here.
I had only asked you why (while any ORIGINAL bond bread cards I've seen including my set) the edges are slightly different. I had wondered if they might have been hand cut but you said die cut. Which in looking at it from outside the box makes sense that each die plate may have been slightly different making the corners slightly different depending on the die cutter.
Thank you again for all this knowledge you are willing to share. I've got a few other cards I may be inquiring about soon =)

I had PSA slab my Jackie/Cagney. Definitely a favorite card of mine:



so far the Jackie's I've seen on the perforated issue are bottom left corner cards from the sheet.

And I got a large sized Williams:



If you want to really go nuts you can chase picture pack items that use the same art

Here are two photos (with their corresponding 1947 BB cards) from the NY Yankees team photo pack (25 photos).

I would love to find out what printing firm produced these Team photos, because I think it would also reveal the resource of these B/W cards.
