Is there a source for details on wrappers or other elements of the find? Rosen just mentions the "case." UPDATE-above post crossed with mine. I am unaware of anything but five cent wax packs for the highs, has anyone ever seen another form of packaging (or vending) for them? "apparently" indicates to me he didn't know, when he could have easily asked.

I've heard the Rosen story and it certainly has merit. I think there could be many different possibilities as businesses have suffered from overstock issues forever.
I think the only common explanation that just holds no water (pun totally intended, lol) is the dumping at sea. It just makes no logistical sense in the slightest. However, it is a great story for the hobby and I don't think Sy ever wanted to ruin it.
