1950 Bowman Baseball 1c packs

Steve_NY · #1 03-05-2018, 08:38 PM

Did these "packs" sell at $500? As others have indicated, the money here is just in the wrapper; the card is probably ruined from the looks of the wrapper. But I would be interested if the seller has figured out that $500 is just too high. I would buy them all if the price has gone down substantially. If they found any other really unopened packs, my interest grows. Best regards,

The wrappers are not in that much demand based on recent sale, no where near 300.00 as thought here. 500.00 is the asking price. Still a rare find

Thanks David, I appreciate your response, and I agree they are a rare find. If all of them were sealed like the auctioned ones, they would sell similarly. I consider them attractive and still desirable, but not as an unopened pack. Yes, there is a limited market for rare and tough to find wrappers, but that is the market that these appeal to. They would pay more to get the wrapper and one card, but $500 may not appeal to more than a few collectors. If the seller wants to move them all, contact me again. Otherwise, thanks again and best wishes.

I will contact him again about his interest in selling the balance of 14 packs as a lot at a better price. Thanks

Why doesn't he search the packs? He can still sell the wrapper.

That could be a plan -- but then they lose their appeal to someone like me. I would buy them as wrappers but at a way reduced price. I am interested either way but would want to see more than one example unless that is the best condition they are in. Also I am in the Northeast and my power keeps going out. We lost it for 16 hours today, and hope it stays on all night. Stay warm wherever you are.

I'm thinking if the packs are only valuable as wrappers and sold for wrapper prices, then why not at least see what condition the cards are in?
