Congrats to the winner as well – that 5-cent pack is a one of a kind sample. To the best of my knowledge the 51’s were never issued in a 5-cent pack. I acquired a 5-cent wrapper for the 1951 set about 20 years ago from an individual who acquired the wrapper directly from Woody Gelman. For years that individual told others in the hobby that the wrapper was from an unopened pack he had opened - but that was not true. Similar to the scan of the 5-cent wrapper in the REA auction, my wrapper exhibits the same toning/glue staining which is found on many Topps mock-ups and artwork. Here is a scan of my 51 5-cent wrapper.
