Yeah, there is some definite confusion about the date of that issue, I am sure we have discussed it.

That flip is incorrect. Both the M101-5 and M101-4 sets are from 1916.

Isn't Ted Z. the resident expert on these cards? Hopefully he will check in.

Maybe the 1947 Bond Bread will get more attention and the price will skyrocket.

Exactly right--same year of issue, although the numbering of the cards differs in some respects.

As great as the Bond Bread issue is- and thanks Shaun for the useful information- they were a regional issue, pretty much available only in Brooklyn. Some collectors prefer that rookie cards were distributed nationally. It's fodder for debate.

Barry, they were available outside of Brooklyn as well. In NYC, they could be found in Brooklyn and Harlem. They were also available in these cities and their suburbs (I may be missing some as I'm on the phone away from my research): Washington DC, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Montreal.

While I've tracked down some cards from New Orleans, they were not purchased from the original owner, but rather pawn shop / dealers that bought them as part of a collection. Since I don't know if the person that sold to those dealers / pawn shops moved to New Orleans later in life, I can't confirm that they were available in that city.

That being said, I don't know about the clipped corner Bond Bread issue, as I have not researched it.

May I ask how you were able to find out that Bond Breads were sold in (for example) Baltimore and its suburbs in 1947? That's pretty impressive and have no idea how one would go about that.

Interesting. I would have assumed Manhattan, but surprised the cards were available in all those other cities. If that is the case, then why isn't the Bond Bread Jackie's rookie card? It really should be.
