Topps/Bowman Wrappers

[Archive]

Posted By: Scott Mosley

Leon, please excuse the somewhat off topic post since its not related to Pre WWII vintage but...

Does anyone know of any websites/books that I could look at as a resource that shows pictures of various Topps/Bowman wrappers through the years (particularly the early 1950s).

I'm looking for something as comprehensive as possible that shows the various Topps and/or Bowman issues from the 1950s and the wrappers that they came in.

Please post or email me directly if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Scott

The old Sport American price guides have color pictures of the wrappers that you are looking for:





Hope this helps.

Apologize as well if this answer is off topic.

Mark Murphy's unopened pack guide is a good source of images for packs/wrappers and the boxes the packs come in. He sells it for $5. I believe, and it can often be found on ebay. His id is BBcardkid.
I'm just about to shoot images of all the wrappers I own, most of the Topps, Bowman, Leaf and Fleer issues, along with Goudey's and Playballs (got it back to vintage there). I'll send you a link when I do.
Dan McKee has images of the more obscure ones, I believe, although he might be missing a George C Miller wrapper.

Thats exactly the type of images/information I was looking for.

Thanks to those who posted and emailed me directly.
