Hey all, looking for input from any 1952 Bowman experts or vintage wax pack wrapper experts.
I've been looking to add a wrapper to my 1952 Bowman collection, and I knew there were three variations...one cent, five cent, and a once cent that had duplicate fielder images as opposed to the batter, fielder rotation.
I noticed a beat up 5 cent version came up on eBay recently but as I looked at the scans, I noticed it appeared to be a FOURTH version that I have not seen before.
On every other 5 cent wrapper, I have seen the text "6 Official Picture Cards". But this version was missing the "6". It just says "Official Picture Cards". I threw a $50 bid on it in the closing minute, but it wound up selling for over double that.
It was from a Canadian seller...so maybe Bowman released a different version in Canada?
Here's a picture from the auction...it looks authentic.

For comparison, here is a picture from oldcardboard.com showing what I thought were the only three wrapper types.

Has anyone else seen a 5 cent 1952 Bowman wrapper without the "6"?
