General Baking Company - Mothers Bread- D303

[Archive]

Posted By: leon

I am collecting the entire set of D303 with the different backs, Mothers and General Baking. Not sure if I will continue too long as I am not sure I like spending so much on commons of the regular General Baking cards....we'll see....As for the well known collections I think each probably had some D303's, as I have bought some from the Carter collection, but I don't think either had complete sets. I do know one board member that is only a handful, or so, away from completion on the D303 General Baking series....The most Mothers I have ever seen are about 14 in a Mastro lot, about a year ago, and I was the underbidder. The winner has been selling some and I have picked up a few of those.....I doubt anyone has completed a Mothers Bread set as back collecting is mostly a more recent phenomenon. I feel it was so difficult pre-internet to get these sets that collectors didn't worry about the different backs as much.....just my opinion on that from the old collections I have seen...
