d327 holsum bread
D327 Holsum Bread cards are closely related to a broader group of sets that include the American Caramel E121 ("Series of 80" and "Series of 120"), Herpolsheimer's boys clothing, Standard Biscuit (D350-3), Shotwell Mfg. Co., W575-1 strip cards, Clark's Bread, Haffner's Bread, Whitmor Candy, Gassler's Bread, Lou Gertenrich Candy, Leader Theater and more.
The black-and-white-printed cards measure approximately 2-1/16 x 3-3/8 inches. Each displays a full-body action pose of the player. The player's name, position and team are printed at the bottom of the vertically oriented cards.
D327 backs are found in two variations as shown below. Type 1, with the stretched out "H. Weil Baking Company" labeling, is considered the earlier (1920) of the two. Type 2 (1921), with the more compressed "H. Weil Baking Company" label, is a little more commonly encountered.
These cards were distributed in Holsum Bread made by H. Weil Baking Company.

In December of 2013 there was a discovery of Holsum Bread cards that included Babe Ruth and two different poses of Ty Cobb. In addition, the 1919 Black Sox center fielder, Hap Felsch, was part of the discovery. All four cards, shown above, were previously unknown to the hobby. The find also included extremely scarce but known Holsum Bread cards of Joe Jackson, Lefty Williams and Eddie Cicotte.
All seven of these cards were auctioned by Goodwin & Co. in their February 2014 auction.
Final prices (including buyer's premium):
