The card is common, but these are the only wrappers of this style that I have seen. They are very heavy paper stock and I'm assuming they used these initially (they have the typical fold lines from packaging) before replacing them with a cheaper, generic wax wrapper which I will show later in the post. When I purchased this lot, one wrapper stood out from the rest. It appears to have been printed on a different paper stock color (more white than yellow). I know this may not seem like a big deal to some, but when you are a player collector, it's little finds like these that make me continue to search for oddball items.
White wrapper...
Yellow wrapper...

I definitely enjoy picking up oddball items especially that I didn’t know existed. Like in the case you mentioned I’ve never seen either of the wrappers you pictured and I see Brooksie is on there as welll. It’s something else I need to add to my hodgepodge checklist. Do you happen to have any more of the yellow wrappers remaining?
Thanks for posting these!
