One of the earliest Post-WWII baseball card sets available is the 1947 Homogenized Bond Bread. The cards feature black and white designs with replica signatures on the front and have blank backs. To facilitate packaging these cards within the bread loaves, their four corners were rounded. This detail is significant as there exist SQUARE corner versions of these original cards. The original 1947 cards are quite difficult to locate.Chicago Cubs 1947 Bond Bread Checklist

Can you identify this stadium? It's quite old, especially when you notice horses and buggies on the streets.
