1952 and 1953 Topps Baseball wrapper values?

[MULLINS5]

A friend picked-up two 1952 and 16 1953 Topps Baseball wrappers today at a yard sale. Not a lot of eBay data on these. Can someone give me a round about of what each year sells for? They have some minor tears along the edges and a few have the gum still in the packs. The cards were sold about an hour before he got to these.

He doesn't want to sell them, just looking at what the going rates are on them.

Thank you in advance

I cant help on value but I had a follow up question.

Did the person that bought the cards open the packs?

I asked him that and he didn't think to ask.

A 1952 wrapper in rough shape will sell for $75 - $100. If no tears, close to $200.

What a find for the buyer, but it's obvious he/she didn't know a lot about baseball cards or they would have taken the wrappers as well, or the whole lot if they were still in their packs.

Regardless, still a nice pick up for your friend.

Can you get any pics of them?

I have had both. Actually the '53 is a little harder to find than the '52. What an awesome yard sale find!!!

It's been awhile, but I remember selling the 1952 wrapper for around $150 and the 1953 wrapper for around $500. It's been awhile though. Not sure if these have gone up or down.

The 1953s are about to go down if these 16 hit the market.....
