Let's talk about "over-looked" true Rookie cards....Pre-war and early Post-war
Quote:
Packs Do we know which Jackie Robinson card was issued first....the regular issue 1947 BOND BREAD card shown here, or his special series of 13 cards (example, your scan) ? I remember pulling the regular issue cards from BOND Bread packages in the Fall of 1947. The special series cards of Jackie were never available in our neighborhood in Hillside, NJ.

This article from Beckett features an image of a Bond Bread advertisement with the portrait card featured prominently in an issue of a Baltimore newspaper. The date is August 17, 1947. I don't know when your Bond Bread set officially came out but the portrait card was available at least as early as August of 1947.

I am not certain of when in 1947 the regular issue (48 cards) were available. I do remember that I was trading them with my schoolmates in the Fall of 1947. The Joe Gordon card has him in a Yankees uniform. Joe was traded to the Indians on Oct 11, 1946. This fact appears to suggest that the regular set of BOND BREAD cards were more likely issued early in 1947 (possibly coinciding with the start of the BB season). TED Z T206 Reference .

Away from my research atm, but 1st card (facsimile) in set of 13 was issued first. June/July of 1947. When I'm at my computer, I can provide the exact month.
That said, I'd still classify both the set of 48 and first in set of 13 to be his RC. Old Gold Kneeling first distributed Sept 1947 Quote:

Mike Gil did not play with the Dodgers in 1946. He played for their farm team, Newport News (129 games, BA = .278 with 8 HR's). He joined the Dodgers in the Spring of 1947. Although I was a NY Yankees fan in my youth, I really loved watching Gil play. He was a tremendous clutch hitter. SEVEN consecutive years driving in 100+ RBI (1949-55). If anyone in BB deserves to be in the HOF, it certainly is Gil Hodges. TED Z T206 Reference .
