Thanks all! It's been a blast collecting, and further researching this set.

One of my favorite things about the set has been that it has given me the opportunity to get to know other collectors, make some friends, and share information regarding the hobby.

Phil,

I don't actually own that card from the regular Bond Bread set. I've been so focused on this set that I passed on numerous examples. That will likely be a goal for 2016.

The most common card in this set is his true RC IMO - while this set is often said to have only been released in Brooklyn, I strongly believe (and I am in the process of gathering evidence to support that belief) that this set was actually distributed in various major cities with significant African-American populations (Baltimore, Richmond, etc). The remaining 12 were released between 1947 and 1949-1950.
