Posted By: ChrisHi All, I've been searching for quality images of a few wrappers and am nearing the end of my list. Was hoping someone here might be able to help with images of wrappers for: All Goudeys besides 1933, 1934, 1936 and 1941 1933 Tatoo Orbit 1939 Play Ball 1940 Play Ball 1941 Play Ball 1941 Double Play 1948 Bowman 1949 Leaf 1949 Bowman (r/w/b) 1949 Bowman (g/o/w) 1953 Bowman B/W 1953 Topps (any) 1954 Topps 5c Any other obscure pre-war wrapper images out there that I may be overlooking? Next, I've found two yellow variations for 1934 Diamond Stars - "More New Art Pictures To Come" and "Three New Art Pictures Just Out", as well as a single blue variation. Does anyone know of other variations? Also, does anyone know what type of packaging 1933 US Caramel's came in? Sorry I know a couple of these are post-war, but I think it's not too far off topic. I apologize if it is Leon. Thanks so much for any help or information anyone can provide. I appreciate your time. Chris

Posted By: ErikV These 1940 Play Ball wrappers were auctioned by Mastro a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly, the set of three sold for around $2,000. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1219345014.JPG">

Posted By: Anthony N.Here's '35 Goudey. <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/griffins/1935goudey/icons/35GoudeyWrapper%20copy.jpg"> Here's 2 '48 ('49 Leaf) You may get a dissenting opinion on these <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> , but the information I have is that the one that doesn't say "baseball" on it is from the sp series. <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/griffins/leafs/icons/LeafWrappers.tif.jpg"> I've got a few more from your list at home. I'll try and scan those later tonite edit- sorry this is post war, but if it helps here's a couple of packs with the wrappers you were looking for. The '54 Topps is the Canadian issue, with just 4 cards. <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/griffins/packs/icons/53Topps.tif.jpg"> <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/griffins/packs/icons/54topps.tif.jpg">

Posted By: Al C.risafulliHi Chris: There were two 1938 Goudey wrappers. Here they are: <img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page10/page11/files/page11_1.jpg"> <img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page10/page11/files/page11_2.jpg"> I believe the second wrapper (the one with less ink) is from the second series, but I have no reason to believe that other than my own bloated sense of self-importance. -Al

Posted By: ChrisHaha Al - "my own bloated sense of self-importance." Either way I appreciate the info! Ted that '49 GOW is nice! Didn't think I'd be able to track one down. Again, thanks much.

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisYes....my 1949 Bowman GREEN-ORANGE-WHITE wrapper is neat, and it is extremely RARE.... so rare....that I can't find anyone that knows what series it was issued in, in 1949. Do you ? TED Z

Posted By: ChrisE-mail sent Bruce. Ted I wish I could help. My only thought, based on its rarity, is that it's somehow connected to the PCL's. But that belief can only be credited to my "bloated sense of self importance" haha <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Wish I had something concrete to share. With respect to your knowledge, if you don't know, we may not find answer anytime soon.

Posted By: ChrisI probably shouldn't get greedy, but since I'm getting such help, can I also ask for the following 1933 Goudeys: Batter front, 6 figure Batter front, 3 figure Ad-front, 3 corner I was able to locate images, but they're quite small.

Posted By: barrysloateTed- I think the yellow 1941 Play Ball wrapper is the toughest of the four colors. I found a hoard of about 25-30 wrappers a number of years ago and there wasn't a single yellow in the group. Come to think of it did you get those from me?

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisThe Green one I acquired back in the 1980's. But, you remember well, as I did get the Orange and the Red ones from you. Anyhow, I have a Yellow wrapper; but, I cannot find it. I am not sure if I got the Yellow one from you. Here is another Goudey wrapper that I had mixed in with an assortment of wrappers. Do you recognize this one ? <img src="http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd339/tz1234zaz/aw19xxgoudey.jpg"> TED Z
