For wrapper collectors, it doesn't get any better than this: this is an enormous array of high-grade baseball wrappers, touching on some of the most popular Topps and O-Pee-Chee baseball issues of the postwar era. As compelling as the diverse array is, the extraordinary condition is similarly important, along with the comprehensive listing of variations that is featured as well. Much of the group is largely Ex-Mt to Near-Mint, with some specific listings noted in the breakdown below. In all there are 18 different issues represented, along with almost three dozen variations included in the mix. Here’s the chronological breakdown: 1) 1951 Topps 1-Cent Wrappers (3) – Two are Ex-Mt, one Excellent; 2) 1961 Nu-Card Scoops (3) – Near-Mint; 3) 1963 Topps – Ex-Mt; 4) 1970 Topps Supers – Ex-Mt; 5) 1972 Topps Posters – Ex-Mt; 6) 1973 Topps (4), with four variations – Ex-Mt-Plus to Near-Mint; 7) 1974 Topps (24), with four variations – Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt; 8) 1975 O-Pee-Chee (24), with two variations – Ex to Ex-Mt; 9) 1975 Topps Cellos (6); 10) 1975 Topps Minis (24), with four variations; 11) 1975 Topps (3); 12) 1976 Topps (12), with four variations; 13) 1977 Topps (8), with four variations; 14) 1977 Topps Cloth (24), with three variations; 15) 1977 O-Pee-Chee (4), with two variations – Ex to Ex-Mt; 16) 1978 Topps (24), with three variations; 17) 1979 Topps (18), with three variations; and 18) 1979 Topps Cello.
