Hal,

As you are a "purist" regarding ROOKIE cards, I have to
take issue with you with respect to these Reprints. Didn't
we "beat this subject to death" last month ? We certainly
did and the conclusion most of us arrived at was that only
the "beveled" cornered cards are the true originals issued
in 1947.

Recall, I did reinforce this argument, since as a 9-year
old, these were the first BB cards I acquired. And, I
still have all my cards from my youth, and there are no
"square-cornered" ones from this set.

To possibly resolve when these Reprints were issued, I can
only suggest contacting David Festburg, who as you probably
know made a huge discovery of them sometime back.

Sorry, I brought this up again. But, perhaps, it may stimulate
meaningful discussion that will result in solving the ongoing
mystery as to when these Reprints were issued.
