Hi Dave

Sure was a nice 1-2 punch to start the game. Most remember Jackie as the 2nd Baseman for the Dodgers.
But, he played at 1st base for the entire 1947 season. Eddie Stanky was the Dodgers 2nd Baseman in '47.

And he had a pretty great teacher too!

Wow. PSA says it has graded 89 of the Portraits. Looks like the board owns a good percentage of them.

Small Traditions did a nice write-up about this issue, which I will quote from to explain it:

"Even more obscure than the Bond Bread Exhibits ... is a fourth and final version, referred to as the 1947 Bond Bread Dual Sided or Perforated set. Virtually nothing is known about this set other than that it was issued in at least two different 24-card perforated panels by a company called Elgee. To call them scarce, even extraordinarily scarce, is a gross understatement. Until Small Traditions graded the [PSA 5] Robinson offered in this lot, only one other had ever been recognized by each PSA and SGC."

I've done a lot of research on "Elgee" and come up with squat from the pertinent era. About all I can say is that there are three known examples of the card, one SGC and two PSA, and perhaps some raw ones tucked away in collections that haven't seen the light of day. The only remaining research to do is to figure out whether the card was issued in 1947 or later. The ballplayers in the set are not helpful in that regard thus far, so I will probably have to start searching for source materials for the movie stars and try to see if any of them would make 1947 an anachronism.

Super cool card, Adam.
