Default Further evidence

Although perhaps not an actual ad, this blurb from the Omaha Star on 10/31/1947 contains the exact same text found on the card and a cropped version of the photo:

Todd, your response led me to that same member's research on the Bond Bread cards, which indicates most of those came out 1948-50, after that first portrait/facsimile auto card. It seems this Old Gold was Jackie's second-ever card? Were there ever any estimated production figures?

With how much everything Jackie has gone up in recent years, the two Old Gold card still seem so undervalued.

That's because most collectors consider it to be a novelty item, not a baseball card.

That's an interesting stance -- small rectangular cardboard, photo of athlete, bio on back ... not sure what else to call it.

Translation: if it's not the sort of thing I collect, it's not a card.

How do you know what "most collectors" consider it to be? Lots of postcards and similar items go for huge money.
