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 regional distribution this issue is one of the more unique of the era. Presented is a beautiful card of Hall of Fame infielder Eddie Collins with the Brunners Bread reverse. Though it has been graded POOR 10 by SGC the primary reason is the scrapbook remnants glue stain and spot of paper loss on the reverse. The card obverse remains strong however despite a single crease traversing the center of the card as well as a small tear at the lower right border. The card's color and image quality are very strong resulting in a disparity between the card's obvious eye appeal and its numerical grade.
