Hey guys. Ive been trying to find some info on early bowman boxes this year and havent been able to find much on a 1951 Bowman FB 5 cent box.
I have one and Im 100% sure it's the real deal. The only thing I can find is this Legendary box that sold.

Now at first I was like great here is an example that has sold. But then when I compared it to mine. Legendarys looked way to thick for the time period of display boxes. It almost looked as thick as a modern day Monopoly game box with a cut out picture glued around it.box
Not meaning to bash the only sale I could find but Im wondering if this reflects the true value or if the bidding might have been lower as a true collector might have caught the possible issue. Also mine might be a possible 2 top lids and not a complete box, Im not 100% sure as I cant find true complete box. But thats what I think I have. But still not the same thickness as the legendary box for sure.
Anyhow, does anyone have any info on this issue?
Thanks guys
