Apparently there were over 500 unopened boxes of the baseball, and 250 unopened boxes of the football.
I remember seeing photos in a magazine during the era with stacks of the boxes shown as found. Anyone remember what publication this was??
In the Nov 20, 1987 issue of SCD, Rosen was offering;
- 1954 Bowman baseball unopened packs for $125.00 each or $2500.00 per box (24 5 cent packs)
- 1955 Bowman baseball unopened packs for $150.00 each or $3000.00 per box (24 5 cent packs)
- 1955 Topps baseball unopened packs for $200.00 each or $3500.00 per box (24 5 cent packs)
- 1954 Bowman football unopened packs for $10.00 each or $1000.00 per box (120 1 cent packs)
- 1954 Bowman football unopened packs for $20.00 each or $425.00 per box (24 5 cent packs)
