Put aside for a moment the possibility that this five cent wax pack could hold a #82 Mickey Mantle (2nd year) or #244 Willie Mays and consider that before last year a 1953 Topps baseball pack had never even surfaced. Now consider that others such as #263 Johnny Podres (RC), #258 Jim Gilliam (RC), #1 Jackie Robinson, #27 Roy Campanella, #37 Eddie Mathews, #54 Bob Feller, #76 Pee Wee Reese, and #104 Yogi Berra may be waiting inside (in high grade?), and its no wonder this particular pack has become so highly sought after. Graded EX+ (5.5) by GAI, the pack displays only a small tear to the top left corner on the reverse. An extremely rare unopened offering.
