Let�s rehash the Bond Bread controversy.

toppcat · #1 03-10-2025, 01:24 PM

A point to ponder:

1950 Topps Hopalong Cassidy cards were also inserted into Bond Bread packs as a P.O.S. bonus. I don't believe they are ever referred to as Bond Bread Hoppy's.

Slight note: The last ACC edition of 1960 has cards through 1959 listed, although a lot of things did not make this edition due to some ambivalence among a couple editors about including so many modern sets.

Here's how the CC presented the various Bond Bread sports issues for ease of reference (note the wide range of dates) and the W571 listing:

Thank you toppcat: A swing and a miss. I totally forgot about Hopalong Cassidy cards. Can you repost the ACC pages? I do not have the dates for W571 pages. Looks like they were cut off. John

Hopalong Cassidy: I want back over my notes, looking for anything about Hopalong Cassidy; I do not have much. This is because I just did not Investigate these cards, when I began my investigation into Bond Bread, I was looking for baseball cards that matched photos I had. I probably just ignored them although I did buy a couple cards. All I have is there was some kind of cross-promotion between Topps and Bond Bread that put Hopalong Cassidy cards in bread loaves in most states east of the Mississippi circa 1950. Bond Bread issued three 16 subject series of illustrated labels, plus two additional ones, again with 16 subjects in each, using photographs. There were even albums to hold them. I think they would be Classified as D cards , but I can not say, maybe D305. John

There are three sets of Baseball cards that can be called Bond Bread, D305, issued in loaves of Bond Bread 1947, D302 Jackie Robinson 1947-1950 hand out card, D301 Buffalo Bisons 1958 hand out card, And Hopalong Cassidy 1950 issued in loaves of Bond Bread, set identification is unclear but should be a �D� card. John.

That's the entire listing as it turns out for W571, there's no dates. The straggling line underneath is from another set.

I am not too familiar with the ACC catalog, what does- Anon (Arrco, Collectors & Traders.... mean?

Is Barney-Berro-Blackwell,Carnero-Cerdon-LaMotto, Gable-Hope-Henis - the names of some of the players in the set? John

Ball players, boxers, and actors.

Berra not Berro
Lamatta not Lamatto
Gable…. That Clark dude.

and Bob “For Texaco” Hope

Thank you Butch. So where do we get, Strip cards and Exhibits cards under "W" cards, if the cards are Ball players, boxers, and actors. John.

I don't know if it was a promotion in other years but the Hopalong Cassidy cards were included in Bond Bread in the spring/summer of 1952.

I think that's just the bread end labels.

I think you are right. But how about the cards do they get "D" or "W" classification?
