Generally speaking it's not an expensive set relative to others.

Kenny- great looking cards there!!

I believe this photo appeared in the original thread but I think the picture of the cards issued in the boxes disappeared. Here's the photo.

Thanks for posting those packets.

They are the 4 packets of the Sports Star Subjects set (Square cards) that I alluded to in post #72 here.

Is there a checklist for each series of the Sports Stars? It says on the front of the boxes that each series contains 12 cards, but I am not sure if they are all baseball or if they are mixed sports.

[doolittle1.1.1]

Please post the names of the Players 2nd set square corners. thank you, Douglas

[doolittle1.1.1]

To stir the pot a bit. I have 22 cards of the square corners, which we all believe are the second set. Help my confusion here please. My Vern Stephens card shows him in a St. Louis Browns uniform and he played there in 47. If this card is a later version, would he not be in a Red Sox Suit.
Also, if I post my 22 cards, which 2 are missing or can I assume 2 from the original set? Douglas

[doolittle1.1.1]

Following the list, I have cards (12 of them) that belong in the first list, but that cannot be, because they all are square corners, yet they all were purchased in the Late 40's as I am the only owner. 10 of them are correct according to the list. My total cards are 22 Douglas

[GasHouseGang]

I think you need to show a scan of what you have. So you purchased yours in the 1940's?

[doolittle1.1.1]

Yes, 1947-48 I believe. happy to post these, but the only way I can is one at a time on the printer, another way is from Smart Phone to my email and then to this site. Not to sharp on computer stuff, so if you advise, I will listen. Thank you, douglas

I assume your printer doesn't have a scanner?

Another way would be to take a picture, or 2-3, then upload them to your computer then use the "manage attachments" below your new post and upload them to the site.

Not sure the age of your computer and if it has a photo option, but there are many on the internet for free to use if you don't?

You'll have to ask what other's use/think is the best however.

Good luck.

I think if you could just post a typed list of what you have, that would be informative, you don't have to show every card. If you could just post a picture of one card that isn't supposed to be available with square corners that would show an example of what you have.

Awesome post. Learned a lot!

Anyone happen to know when the 13 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson cards were issued relative to the original 48 card Bond Bread set with rounded/die cut corners?

Take a look at this thread- goes into great detail

Have read this thread today with interest. I remember the cards being for sale back in the late 70s in an ad in the Trader Speaks but passed on them as I had a feeling they were NOT originals at the time. Interestingly, I bought about 40 or so 8 x 10 black and white poster-like inserts(?) of the same players and poses at the Saturday Flea market where back in the day you could still make some cool finds.... still have them buried in a box somewhere, I remember Ted Williams, Joe Louis, Primo Carnera, Max Baer, Phil Rizzuto, Stan Musial, Bob Feller and a few others.... they were on a soft paper looked to be from the 40s or 50s..... same poses and signatures..... any info on these? Blank backed .... no manufacturer anywhere. They do have borders on them unlike a lot of the cards Ive seen.

They are from a 1940s multisport pack. Here are a few:




This Graziano is not one of the bread cards but he was a major personality in the late 1940s:



I've also had FB players Johnny Lujack and Doc Blanchard, and Bob Feller.

Great read...thanks for the link! Still trying to determine which card was released first though, the portrait with facsimile auto promo card (white borders) that is part of the Jackie set or the die cut/rounded corner portrait that was part of the regular issued 48 card set? Has this been established? And if so, which came first?

The white border auto promo card was first distributed in June 1947 in NYC (and I believe outside of NYC, specifically Baltimore and DC - but I will confirm that in a few weeks once my schedule frees up and I have time to go through my last bit of research material).

While I am not sure an exact release date for either can be pinned down, Ted Z will likely be able to confirm whether or not the die-cut / rounded corners set of 44 was available prior to June 1947.

It should also be noted that, in addition to both the white facs. auto and the die cut set of 44 card, Jackie did have another card come out in 1947 - the Old Gold Kneeling in Dugout card. That card, however, was distributed in September, 1947.

Ted-Are all the Jackie Robinson cards round cornered? I've only seen one card (portrait) with round corners, all the rest have square.

[HasselhoffsCheeseburger]

I've got a nice SGC 80 Berra to share but I guess I'm missing a security token so I can't upload the image. But it looks great. I'm doing an interpretative dance right now to describe it so you can all picture it in your heads.

Jack

The 1947 BOND BREAD Jackie Robinson series (13-cards) were not issued in Bond Bread packages; and therefore, they are all Square-cornered.

These cards were my very first BB cards which I collected as a very young kid in 1947......pulled out of BOND BREAD packages.

Question... I have the rounded corner Jackie that is mint but came back a SGC A due to it be 1/64th of a inch too small. Does that even make sense?

Stephen

I just shuffled thru my 1947 BOND BREAD set (48 cards)....and, the variation in size between some of these cards is as much as 1/16th of an inch.

My advice to you is to wait a couple of months, then crack the card out of its holder and re-submit it to SGC (or PSA). There's a high likelihood that
you'll get it back with a numerical grade.
