Ted ZanidakisSeveral years ago I picked up a 1949 Wax Pack wrapper that is
Orange - Green - White instead of the usual BaseBall one that
is colored Red - Blue - White. After having asked most of the
hobby gurus, no one appears to know much about this wrapper
or when it was issued, and with which cards (or series) in
1949. I bought many, many 1949 Bowman cards as a kid and they were all packaged in Red-Blue-White wrappers. Perhaps, the
rare PCL that year were packaged in this seldom seen wrapper?
Contrary to the hobby "myth" that the 1949 PCL cards were only
marketed as 36-card uncut sheets, some PCL cards were indeed inserted in packs. So, I am hoping that someone out there
can solve the mystery of this wrapper ?
