1950's Bread Labels Rare and Much Sought After in the 21st Century


Even advanced football card collectors often have trouble tracking some of the offbeat items that exist in the hobby. Most of the time, the various stamps, discs, labels, coins, stickers and other novelties are relegated to the minor issue category, where they are promptly forgotten.

But such is not the case with the B.E.B. football bread end labels that enjoyed a vogue in the early 1950s. A small but hardy band of collectors have kept these unique keepsakes alive for nearly five decades.
