I don't believe this list is correct....Walker Cooper should be on this list.

I believe you, but he isn't on the SCD list. Do you see someone that shouldn't be on the list?

Could someone post a Bond Bread-size Walker Cooper? It has been my understanding that he only appears in the exhibit-size version of this issue.

Ted, your own list in post #7 doesn't include Walker Cooper.

My list in Post #7 applies ONLY to the 1947 BOND BREAD cards (Rounded corners) set. If you go back and read the posts in this thread, you will realize that the Square-cornered set is NOT exactly the same issue. Sorry, I did not respond to you on this earlier, but I was in Cooperstown these past 6 days. TED Z . |

OK, I think I'm a bit lost again. The list I posted was from the SCD article and was supposed to be the Bond Bread 1947 set, and the cards with an * were in the later find of 24 cards square cornered, which may or may not be reprints. I think the unknown for me, is what cards are in the 1949 square cornered set. Is there a checklist for these? Based on the picture of the boxes there should be 48 "Sports Stars" which may include two boxers. Where the movie stars fit into this hasn't been explained.

I have 25 square corner baseball players and 1 boxer that have the same exact white paper backing and not the cream color. These are originals for sure, cards are identical to my clipped corner ones. Dan

Thank you, Lee, for reviving this thread back in June (Post #70). I am assuming the question was regarding the Musial in your June auction. I won the card and I’ve read through this thread (and found a lot of useful information), but still have some questions if anybody can help.
I am assuming this card was part of the Collectors & Traders Sports Star Subjects 4 box set that was made by Aarco Playing Cards (Chicago). How do we know for sure the cards were made in ‘48/’49? Why couldn’t they have been made at the same time as the Bond Bread (’47)? There is one eBay seller that seems to think so… http://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-W571-Aa...vip=true&rt=nc I have a few interesting observations between the one on eBay and the one I purchased from Lee. (1) The card on eBay is cropped a little closer than mine. Look at the left and right borders and you can see more of the image on mine. (2) The name on his is more towards the bottom. The name on mins is a little higher up. (3) The back of his card appears to be more white (could be the scan though) and I thought I read that the white backs were considered reprints?? Is his a reprint? It sure looks like it shows its age (nearly 70 years old). Is it possible there were multiple print runs and the formatting changed? If ours are both Sports Star Subjects, why the differences? The one I purchased from Lee The one on eBay The back of mine The back of the one on eBay Here is a Bond Bread just to compare to. Note that even the Bond Bread is cropped more closely than mine. |

The Musial card on ebay is an original (circa 1949) issue. Its white back confirms this. Your Musial card is a reprint (circa ? ? ). Its toned back indicates that this card is not an original Sports Star Subject issued in 1949. Furthermore, the image on the reprint lacks the contrast of the 1949 issue. And, if you compare the thickness of the cardboard of these two cards, the 1949 card will feel thicker than the reprint card. TED Z . |

Ted, thanks! But if mine is a reprint, it has to be a reprint from the original plate, right? Because mine shows more of the image than the one on eBay (and even the Bond Bread for that matter).

Hi Again,
I have another group of these from another consignor, the backs are very white. From my understanding you believe the white backs to be a reprint. Is there a possibility that another company could have issued these? similar to T206s, T205s, M101-4? Lee
