Wrappers

I believe the 41 Play ball wrapper is the toughest of the three. About 5-6 years ago I found a guy in New Jersey who discovered a bunch of them, may 15-20, while going through his dad's belongings. I remember all the wrapper people telling me that was a big deal as those rarely ever surfaced. The hoard brought the price down a bit but I recall the first few selling in the $700-800 range and even the last group reaching $400 each or more. I don't know what they go for today.

Incidentally, the 41's come in four colors, and this grouping had three only. Yellow was missing, but there were several each of orange, red, and green.
