they are probably about the size of a 75 mini...
and fairly thin stock.. I don't think they are bond bread because I have a robinson
and it is larger and with different stock

    Bob ... check out this LINK. Look at the 8th card down. It talks about the two different '47 Bond Bread Sets. Looks like they may come from one of these sets.

    It amazes me the knowledge the members of this board have.

    The OP asked at 8:11 and Doug had the answer in 30 minutes on a Saturday evening.

    BTW, awesome looking cards.

    your cards are known as W571 reprints made in the 1980s. they have a cream colored back. Basically worthless. Many are found in high grade slabs by pseudo grading companies.

    The authentic W571 cards were issued in 1950 and had square corners, but have a pure white back that is very smooth and has a slight gloss. They were issued in a boxed set (4 boxes make up the complete set of 48), sold in toy stores.

    The authentic D305 cards were issued in 1947 by Bond Bread, they have a pure white back that is very smooth and slightly glossy, and diecut rounded corners (these are the most highly desired, because of the JRoby, Kiner, Musial, Berra, Hodges rookies)

    there are also larger Exhibit style cards (very scarce), and there are also perforated dual sides cards issued by Hess Shoes (very rare).

    the reprints were first seen about 1980, they are very common in high grade, and commonly seen in slabs by pseudo grading companies

    Here is a few of the reprints like yours.
    FGA10 Brecheen W571 reprint with cream back
    Musial W571 reprint with cream back

    SGC is the only grading company that will grade some of these cards. They only grade the 1947 D305 cards with the diecut corners, and the Exhibit cards and the Hess Shoe cards. They will not grade any of the square corner cards even though the pure white ones are known as fact to be from 1950.

    PSA doesnt want to take the time to educate themselves on any of these, so dont grade them, period. Its not their job to learn about, authenticate, and grade cards image I guess
