Default 1951 Topps Blue/Red Backs

Posted By: MW

Murcerfan,

I don't believe so. Nearly all of the cards we've had from the cellophane wrappers were Near Mint to Mint, including the best two graded Ruths in the hobby, a fair number of Near Mint or better team cards, various other high-grade Connie Mack singles and dozens of SGC 88, 92 and 96 quality red back pairs. I also recall that the cellophane wrappers included original verbiage from Topps, indicating that the product was not of aftermarket origin. If I can locate some wrappers, I'll post some images.

Edited to add: the largest find of 1951 Topps red back cellos that we know of came directly from a city in Pennsylvania, not Oregon (perhaps we are referring to different types of packaging?)
