[Busscooter]

Has anyone come across this wrapper? Does one exist? Wrapper Guy

Never seen a wrapper or pack...not even a scan. But, have seen a scan of a box

Here's a psa article detailing the set:

An excerpt in the article says... "The veteran collector has, however, seen an unfolded, empty wax box. This box and the fact that he has seen wax stains on cards are "clues" that these originated from wax packs.

Here is a link to a closed auction from Legendary Auctions for a 71 Greatest Moments Display Box:

It is interesting how the display box doesn't show a picture of an actual pack with a wrapper on the outside of it.

Here is a link to a guy who has the box...maybe he can lead you in the right direction. His name is unopenedpackguy.

Does anybody have a scan of a card from this set with a wax stain?

Two thoughts after looking more closely at the photos from the Legendary Auction.

1) The box reads 24 ct. It can only be assumed that the box was created for packs considering the box would be too big if it merely contained 24 individual cards.

2) The box also reads "bubble gum". For gum to be distributed with a card(s) they would have had to have been wrapped/packaged together.

Here's a great article from the blowout cards forum:

This gentleman in the article who worked for Topps, Sy Berger, he would undoubtedly know if wax packs and wrappers existed...

Here's the scan of the box, I've never seen a wrapper nor a scan either, and haven't even seen a card with a wax stain. There are some uncut sheets floating around
