I'm new to vintage. Was wondering why this is not considered Jackie Robinson's rookie card? 1947 with rounded corners - this was around before the leaf set, correct?

It is a RC, but that doesn't make it popular.

All six of these 1947 Bond Bread cards can be considered the 1st Major League (rookie) cards issued of these BB players.






However, the powers to be back in the 1970's overlooked these cards in favor of the Bowman and Leaf issues.

Here is an authentic rounded/beveled cornered Ted Williams which I have up n the Bay right now with an inexplicably low grade. They are tough on these guys - i was shooting for about double this and had a big mess in my diaper when i got it back in the mail.
