1947 bond bread
Posted By: scott
I recieved my Bonds cards back from GAI about a month ago. I remember there was some discussion regarding these and i said i would post them. Well here they are. Is anyone here collecting them ? Right now i don't have a huge interest in them. But would love to get some feedback as to thoughts about the rounded corners vs squared now that GAI is confident that the square corners are legit. |

I don't recall if a consensus was reached the last time we went through this, but it would be interesting to know what GAI did to determine the cards were issued in 1947 or whenever Hal determined they were actually issued as opposed to being later sheet cuts or reprints. |

I had said that there were rectangular cards that were genuine, and I beleive Adam W. said the same. Whether or not the cards have been reprinted (What hasn't been reprinted these days?), the genuine vintage cards are identified by close examination of the printing. |

I have a list of all the workers at the factory where the cards were made... |

It would seem kinda strange that there are both 1947 original square cornered cards that just happen never to have been issued and also identical looking reprints. But I guess stranger things have happened. Has anyone ever had both supposed types of square cornered cards and done a side by side under magnification? |

This eBay lot I just noticed should help put this frequently recurring issue to rest. If this is genuine (and it looks likely that it is), this scrapbook indicates square corner cards were around in the 1940s. |

Rather odd. I submitted a few square corner specimens to GAI a few months back and had them returned as ungradeable. I'm sure they aren't reprints but they simply refused to grade them. With key cards like Musial(R) and Willaims, it would be nice to get to the bottom of things. |

Also, this scrapbook on eBay contains square-cornered cards (such as Dom DiMaggio) which supposedly could only be found with rounded corners (as indicated by Lemke in the 2005 SCD big book). |

Were the non-sports Bond Bread cards distributed with or without rounded corners originally? I don't recall but there were a few up for auction recently without. |

I never said this was the final proof on this issue. Indeed, my original post references the integrity of the seller as one thing to consider (I'm not suggesting this seller is bad, but that other "scrapbooks" we've seen have had fake cards inserted -- e.g. Babe Ruth Frojoys). |
