Lot # 284: Scarce 1953 Bowman Black & White Wrapper

While the 1953 Bowman Black & White issue played second fiddle to the celebrated Color edition, a lack of sales created an instant rarity with the offered "Play Ball Gum" wrapper. This unfolded penny pack showcasing an umpire with a generic ballplayer presents high-grade with well-formed corners, crisp factory folds and bright blue-and-orange surface colors that "pop" from the white background setting.
