The 1947 BOND BREAD Jackie Robinson series (13-cards) were not issued in Bond Bread packages; and therefore, they are all Square-cornered.

These cards were my very first BB cards which I collected as a very young kid in 1947......pulled out of BOND BREAD packages.

Question... I have the rounded corner Jackie that is mint but came back a SGC A due to it be 1/64th of a inch too small. Does that even make sense?

I just shuffled thru my 1947 BOND BREAD set (48 cards)....and, the variation in size between some of these cards is as much as 1/16th of an inch.

My advice to you is to wait a couple of months, then crack the card out of its holder and re-submit it to SGC (or PSA). There's a high likelihood that
you'll get it back with a numerical grade.

Scottsdale Cards has a boxed set of Screen Star Subjects for sale, suggesting that the rounded-corner cards were available in these boxes.

That's discouraging. The rounded corners was the only way I knew of to differentiate the Bond Breads from the Collectors & Traders Sport Star Subjects
