Ebay 1947 Bond Bread

Why no mention of the much more widely distributed Jackie card from the original 44 card Bond Bread set released earlier in 1947? Those were inserted into loafs of Bond Bread in 1947 the same way Old Judge cards were inserted into cigarette packs, Cracker Jack cards were inserted into snack boxes, American Caramel cards were inserted into candy packages, etc. The 13 card Jackie set were distributed as promotional giveaways, not nearly the same chase element involved in trying to obtain these back in the day.

The portrait card is separate from the rest of the Bond Bread Jackie set. It is it's own release. Where did you find information that the 44 card set was released was first? It's always been my understanding that the Jackie portrait was released first to promote Jackie Robinson specifically once he made the team.

Where does the Jackie Robinson Well Made Pants fit into all of this?

Because those are blank backs with horrible cuts and much higher print runs. I don't even consider those to be baseball cards. To each their own though. Collect what you love.

Yeah, those blank-backed B&W product insert 'cards'...ugh.

Most collectors do not prefer them. To each their own. Someone asked why the other Jackie isn't more popular. I just gave my point of view.
