No 1948 Bowman packs were known to exist until now (and more)

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

Those packs look weird to me, too. What I question is how roached out the box is but the packs look so nice. Seems to me the packs on each edge would suffer some of the same consequences of age and being knocked round, albeit to a lesser degree since it is the job of the box to protect the packs.

yeah, the box and the packs conditions aren't even remotely the same

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!

Better than being the missing link, like me.
