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

WOW the list of unopend stuff is amazing. I would love to open that box of 59 Fleer Ted Williams cards. If only I had that kind of disposable income.

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

I thought that, too, although my guess is that they've put some filler underneath the packs to make it look full for the purpose of a better publicity photo.

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!
