I have a couple in my collection. They clearly use the same photos and same script lettering as the Homogenized Bond cards. But I'm not at all convinced that they have any connection to the bread. I'd be interested to hear if Ted remembers any offers to send in to the bread company for larger pictures.

What I found interesting was that these photos share some of the bread pics, but certainly share the Team issued pic poses. Many have a consistantly placed mark as if there was a smudge or problem on a copy "machine". The printing image is of lower quality as is the overall QA - centering, size, etc. The stock is a tad heavier and glossier than the coarse team pic issues.

I've always thought these were a grouping of photos supplied by one or two firms (two fonts seem to predominate) that were used by a number of issuers. Would not shock me if they were from the Exhibit archive, or some similar type of situation. Adam might know something about this.

I don't think they're exhibits
Not the same techniques or stock.
It all falls in the W card spectrum and the W card makers are a lot closer aligned than you'd think. It is evident that the W517s and Exhibit PC backs came from the same artwork--they have the same handwriting. I think there was a lot of cross-pollenating on the artwork in many of these sets. After all, why not re-use a regional issue in another region. Probably a lot like the Felix Mendelsohn cards with all the brands.
