I was surprised that the card is a pretty flimsy paper stock with a semi-gloss back. Is that consistent with the series or is mine some sort of reprint/fantasy card?

Hey "Bubba"

Can we see a scan of the back of this Blackwell card.

Here's what Ted had posted compared to yours. Yours doesn't look glossy to me, but it is a different color. I think yours compares to what is in my set of 24 square corners I picked up years ago.

I'm new to vintage. Was wondering why this is not considered Jackie Robinson's rookie card? 1947 with rounded corners - this was around before the leaf set, correct?

It is a RC, but that doesn't make it popular.

All six of these 1947 Bond Bread cards can be considered the 1st Major League (rookie) cards issued of these BB players.






However, the powers to be back in the 1970's overlooked these cards in favor of the Bowman and Leaf issues.

My pic is the same as this one with same description of the back being flimsy,.. The fact remains , I have had these cards with square corners since the late 1940's Doug doc
