1971 Topps Greatest Moments Wrapper

[4reals]

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...

Spoke with a guy tonight who is an acquaintance of Sy Berger. He said Mr. Berger did not have answer on this issue.

By the way, I'm starting to think I'm talking to myself on this issue.

I wish I had some information to add. So you know you're not alone, I'll just say I love the set and just picked up Kaline on Sunday.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

I am also working on this set...if anyone has doubles to sell/trade let me know.

Also, I have had four or five cards with a wax stain. All were on front center of picture. Pic of card below. Wax was very heavy on all cards and much more than I have seen from standard cards.

4 Reals--you may be talking to yourself, but from my standpoint it is an interesting conversation nonetheless
