Default 1947 Bond Bread questions
Posted By: Hal Lewis

Barry:

Did you mean that only the "Jackie Robinson subset" was distributed solely in the Brooklyn market...or are you speaking about the ENTIRE 1947 Bond Bread set of 48 cards (with Robinson being card #37)??

I guess it would make sense that they printed the entire set for ALL of Brooklyn... and then printed the "subset" for the African-American Brooklynites?

If the ENTIRE set of 48 cards was distributed Nationally... then card #37 would indeed be Jackie Robinson's rookie card.

However, since there would NEVER have been any debate about this issue if THAT was the case... I assume the entire 48 card set was only distributed in Brooklyn?
