1963 Topps Baseball--wrapper variations

vintagecollector

Thanks to the all the collectors who have responded to my posts about various sets for articles I've written
about in the last year or two. I'm currently writing a piece for Tuff Stuff about the 1963 Topps BB set.

Does a 1963 Topps wrapper exist that shows an image of Stan Musial on the side of the
wrapper where they advertised "prizes" for sending in so many wrappers and/or some
money? Or something like that? If you have this wrapper please email it to me with the pic (1 MB to 1.5 MB) at

Thanks, Doug

Doug- checked both my penny and nickel packs and neither have the Musial ad on them. The penny has the same repeating pattern as the front, the nickel has an add for "Big Twin Chews, Big Comics, Exciting Prizes, Young America's Favorite" and a line drawing of a piece of Bazooka gum.
The '63 Box has a Phillie player on the top (#11, hitting lefthanded) and a couple of shots of a broken up double play on the 3 sides, a Cardinal runner taking out a Phillie infielder. On the fourth panel is a picture of Stan Musial with the quote:Stan Musial Says: "Topps Baseball is the finest series ever" with his signature below it. Next to that (covering about 40% of the panel) is a Bazooka ad with some generic drawings of other sports and non sports cards.



edited to add - in case you can't read it the nickel pack is 1st series.
