The D304 General Baking Co. series issued between 1911 and 1914 by the Buffalo NY-area baking company is one of the hobby"s most rare and desirable vintage bakery issues. Commonly called "Brunners Bread" cards today the set actually features five different back varieties (Brunners Bread Butter Krust Bread General Baking Company Weber Bakery and Martens Bakery). Largely due to the size of the cards but also due to the issue"s striking images and more regionalized distribution this issue is one of the more unique issues of its era.Unlike other baseball issues of the day which often shared poses or images across multiple sets the poses and illustrations in the D304 set are found only in this issue. The D304 issue is also significantly more rare than the popular tobacco issues of the era with its key cards rarely becoming available for sale in the hobby. The 25 cards from this issue are a rarity and we are proud to offer a large assortment of cards from the set in our inaugural auction.Well-loved and handled this card of Hall of Fame outfielder Sam Crawford exhibits all the qualities of a card with the grade of POOR. Still as with the other cards from this grouping of D304s that we are offering each card is rare and difficult to find in any grade.
