A Pittsburgh dairy used the initial set of Homogenized Bond Bread cards as a promotional handout and contest in 1949. Card backs are stamped with a purple legend "Page's Pittsburgh Milk Co. - The Sweetest Milk Ever Sold." The contest required kids to turn in a full set of 48 to get a bike so there is certainly one extreme shodt print but we do not know which card because all the cards in this regional issue are rare. SGC has graded five boxing cards from this set single examples of all plus a second Cerdan making this LaMotta card the only known specimen.
