1953 Topps baseball one cent pack

mikelowell25 · July 19, 2015 4:28AM

Does anyone have a 1953 topps baseball one cent pack, preferably one with the dated wrapper that says "1953"??

Not looking to buy one as I already have one in a psa 8 holder but am just curious about something.

Thanks!

David, here's a scan of a wrapper I found with the 1953 date variation.

Thanks guys!! (Tim, I own that box in the pic so stop posting pics of my stuff lol

)

What I'm trying to determine is if the dated version of this wrapper is supposed to have white borders (its more of a thin strip along the edge than a border but I'm calling it a border for practical purposes).
on the right and left sides or if topps manufactured these both with and without the white borders (I tend to doubt it). My one cent pack doesn't have the white borders and there is a dated one cent wrapper on ebay that ends tonight that doesn't have the white borders either so it's just like the wrapper on my graded pack. Another fellow collector who isn't on these boards but is extremely well versed with vintage packs and wrappers thinks the wrapper on ebay is a fake (I dont think its fake, I think it just mightve been trimmed). If you do a google or bing search for 1953 wrappers you will see a one cent dated example that does have the white border; conversely, the two undated examples I own both have the white strip but I'm only concerned with the dated version at the moment.

Thanks again for the help and sorry for any confusion!

I will say the color on that 53 wrapper up for sale on ebay now is very rich and deep compared to most of those I've seen pictured, unless it's the scanner settings..
