Condition:
The 1957 set was filled with great players & several great rookies. Imagine the cards that these wrappers once held as they made their way to the lucky new owner. I am offering both the 1 and 5 cent wrappers together & both are super nice high-grade examples. The 5-cent variation has the “Twin Blony” side panel ad variation & bold, red color that can accentuate wear or imperfections. There is virtually no wear to the card corner points which is very unusual given the bold red background. When viewing under a bright light & 5X magnification, I do see a 1/8” repaired nick near the middle of the bottom edge. The 1 cent wrapper looks about perfect – I see one tiny nick on a card edge area that is very hard to detect. If you own a 1957 set or card collection these wrappers would be the perfect compliment. If you collect vintage wrappers these are about the finest condition you will find. I think you will be very happy with the bright, bold color, clean surfaces, and overall quality.
Extensive Wrapper Collection Acquired:
I have been fortunate enough to purchase a very extensive and high-
grade sport & non-sport wrapper collection from a long-time hobby veteran who was a very active dealer and
collector during the infancy stages of our great hobby. He has been a great asset to our hobby and I am honored to
have met him and his family and I am grateful that he has allowed me to take ownership of this amazing collection
that he has painstakingly accumulated and preserved over several decades. It is one of most extensive wrapper
collections in existence, which includes all sports, prewar, test issues, non-sports, many variations, etc. I will be
regularly listing items from this collection for sale and likely some for auction too. We both will be thrilled to have
items from this collection find a new home and to fill the want-lists of sport and non-sport wrapper enthusiasts.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific needs.

You will receive the EXACT item that is listed. I will ship carefully and swiftly, likely the same day

Combined Shipping:
I will happily combine shipping if you purchase multiple items. If eBay requires you to pay for
each item in advance I will be sure to provide a refund where your purchase of multiple items can be shipped
