1947 Musial

I think it's somewhere between good and not good depending on how you look at it. It is most likely oldish, just not 1947. These have been around the hobby for decades and sort of have their own place. It is not something like, for instance, a Helmar card that is contrived to look old. That's my opinion anyway. Would have I paid $30 for it? No. If I were a big Musial fan and liked the card, I would not lose any sleep over it.

Of course there is always the possibility based on the poor photo that it's a true fake, but I doubt it. JMO.

It's from the "reprint find" of 1980.

Exactly! My personal opinion is that someone found the original plates and ran off quantities of them, as the later square-cornered cards display the correct dot pattern under magnification. Bunches of them surfaced in the '80's and '90's, and PSA, as I recall, is no longer grading '47 Bond Bread at all (except the "Exhibits," which are larger, but actually not from the Chicago Exhibit Supply Co. at all).

Hi, Ted,

The same printing press theory exists for the Fro Joy cards too. That is why grading companies don't like to grade them, so I have heard.
