This thread is about the two cards in the poll, it’s not about the 1948 Swell. Stay on topic.

+1 LOL.....

I am sticking with the 1947 issues...

I took the cheaper route on the Bond Bread cards...

OK, mom.

Value/rarity aside, I prefer the Bond Bread card.
Wish I owned either one, however.

In general I prefer color issues to black and white, especially on the prewar stuff. This is no exception. Bond Bread is a great card, and I may pick one up some day. But I'd take the Leaf and it's not even close.

I am a little bias to the Jackie Robinson Leaf. This is my collection and looking to add. That being said the 1947 Jackie Bond Bread Portrait is definitely my second favorite Jackie.

anecdotal evidence aside I’m going with the leaf. Partially to post this and hopefully be a bit of a spit under someone’s saddle. I always loved the 48-49 Leaf set

I'm torn. On the one hand, the image on the Bond is far better and it is the earlier card. On the other hand, the Leaf has actual back matter, which is a massive plus.

I would lean towards the Bond Bread though.
