"Jackie Robinson has had 2,000,000 photographs printed in the NYC area distributed by the Bond Bread people in the past fortnight... that the ex-UCLA great can have a reasonable facsimile of the key to all cities from Montreal down to the lair of the "Gashouse Gang (St. Loo Cardinals)" - dated Oct 4, 1947

The first cards were distributed in July 1947, and ramped up significantly in September.

And finally, my set. I did have the Portrait, Glove in Air card in PSA 5 (highest graded at the time), as well as Fielding Ball in Glove in PSA 5, but sold both to a well-known collector (who eventually sold me the PSA 7 portrait after he acquired the PSA 8.5). The Portrait was the last card I obtained. The most difficult card to find when completing the set was the Throwing variation. I initially had purchased the card raw (graded authentic), and later upgraded to the 3.
