Thanks Dan. That is exactly my point. These very well could have been made to be Bond Bread cards and I don't think we will ever know for positive if that was the intention OR if they were made to be distributed to other companies like Page Milk. This sort of reminds me of Sporting News M101s (4/5) and the myriad backs they have.

Ted- until you can show me something from the company that produced the cards, and that something says "these cards were made only to be distributed with Bond Bread" then I don't think we can say definitively that they were solely made for 1 product (though they could have been). I do trust you know as much as anyone about these. For now I consider it a new set that uses cards similiar to Bond Bread cards. Hey, at least they aren't the square cornered ones. That would really make an interesting story, though one that might not be as believable.

Hi Leon,

You wouldn't have needed to go to the National for those, you had dibs on the cards even if you don't remember. I am glad you enjoy them.

I must also congratulate you on getting SGC to acknowledge them. When I submitted them they said that they didn't have enough to go on to slab them. I am glad you convinced them to do the right thing.

Enjoy the weekend,

Dan

Thanks....I do appreciate it. With SGC sometimes you just have to make your case. This was really a no brainer since the redemption card was there. I asked for all SGC 98's but they said no.

Thanks for the overprinted D311 too.....very cool card. And lastly but certainly not least, it was great meeting you in person. For some reason I thought you would be a bit older. We must have exchanged a hundred emails and to finally put a face with the virtual name was another hightlight for me. I enjoy the camaraderie in the hobby almost as much as the cards. You had a nice table partner too!! Hopefully we can meet in MD next year...take care

I would guess it's safe to say the Holmes card wasn't the chase card. Ted's point about the rounded corners for distribution in the bread loaves is also interesting, as I can see no reason for the rounded corners when distributed with milk.
