1948 bowman box and packs
do those packs look weird?
it looks like the wrappers are surrounding a box? the edges are sharp and distinct...how many cards are in the pack? 3 pieces of gum? story doesnt say..it does say partial box...it looks full to me |

Strange...3 pieces of gum
How do they know that unless u open it? Packs look perfectly flat on top? Wrapper gum and cards all the same size? |
I'd buy them just for the gum.

Those are some of the weirdest packs I've ever seen. They look so thick.
|
The way I read it is there is only one card in each pack. One card and 3 sticks of gum. So they must be in a box. What the heck do I know, I have never seen a '48 Bowman pack.

We need one of our members that collected these when they were "new" to chime in and explain what we are seeing and what's inside. It seems like the gum must have been pretty thick to make a pack look like that. Were the gum slabs the size of the pack?
|
That is crazy awesome! :eek:
|
If there were no known packs before, you'd think the person selling these would have been better off releasing these to market over time, rather than the entire box at once. Obviously there may be more factors at play here, but an interesting aspect to consider.
I wonder what a 'unique' unopened pack would have went for vs. the avg price per pack of the entire box once it is auctioned. |

Unopened 1948 Bowman baseball=My Holy Grail!
Ted Z. told me that the gum is the same size as the 48' cards, albeit
thicker. He opened them as a kid! Also the article states, packs have 5 cards and 3 sticks gum? Ted Z. will know, hopefully he will set us straight on the facts. Amazing to see such an awesome find. I have dreamed/ wondered for many years if unopened 48' baseball packs existed. Stoked to see them! |
