- The entire inventory of unopened 1948 Bowman baseball packs known to exist is right here. And then there's the original 1948 Bowman display box, well-worn and held together with tape but again, the only known example to exist, with the original display insert.
Given the recent BBCE debacles, this one Might be full of GI Joe cards
Whoever had this has the most patience known to man. Me one day I can't help but to open it.
Rick from Pawn Stars. If you'll give me 5 minutes in a commercial break I got a buddy that deals in 19 48 Bowman baseball cases and I like to call. He knows everything there is no about 1948 Bowman baseball cases. Buddy shows up and explains to the owner that these are fake and Rick offers him a dollar a pack
I can do 50k and I'm taking a HUGE risk here.
Mouth is watering! Absolutely amazing!
550k was actually a steal for this Treasure. Being the only box in existence this should be worth 2 or 3 million!
even 2 to 3 is undervalued. this is in the 8 digit figure definitely
More than 5M definitely
Do you want to know why it's not worth a million or more because any of the card's you pull out of them pack's would not bring that kind of value not even mint one's they just don't have that kind of value look at the prices of Yogi's or musial's or spahn's they just don't have a ton of value thousands yes million's no sorry....

I cannot beleive how many people actually think these packs were never opened? In 2017 there was only 4 packs left unopened in the bowman. A single person had all 4 of them, he kept 1 pack then he sold 3 of them to a collector for 10 times it's face value. He went home opened his single pack, he wound up get a card that was worth 574,942.18 sold his Stan M. Card to an individual for that price from a card luckily was graded a 4, one of the best cards and, today that card is worth 1,986,420.18, over 1 million for 1 card, WOW!!!!
Wow! It would be so hard to not open at least one pack...
Dustin Abraham i
Id open all of em!
Wow, do my eyes light up when I see a box of authentic cards unopened!
You mean vintage.
The very Scarcest and or Rarest kind/type of 'unopened-legit' Sportscard pack that I ever bought/purchased for my very own, just happened to be a 1954 TOPPS PRO HOCKEY WAX PACK.
Bought it or better said, won it in an Auction in 91' or perhaps 92'. Laid out some heavy Freight for the pack. $2,100.
Received it and just put it away, until a very great Friend of mine (who was also a "Hitter" with things along these lines!) wanted it for his collection. So..................
It was 're-located' to my Best Friends cluttered collection and that's where it is(???!!!!) until this post was put up and put down! Was more than elated to just collect a YARD profit (YARD=$100)
off my "Friend-In-Cards"! I've always been a "Older Unopened Wax Junkie", way before it was 'COOL'. And I done gottid a shitload of silly crazed tales to let out!
GOD BLESS You All, and thanks so very much for the heavy Listen, FOLKS!
My God!! My wife's sleeping....I'm going to watch this again in slow motion😯😯......holy freaking wax pack tsunami of the mother load!!!
Could not have said it better!😆
It's amazing that Phil Rizzuto 2:19 was able to have a Hall of Fame career despite being born without a neck.
Simply amazing!
prob full of gi joe
Incredible!
Why didn’t you open them?
This is so Cool !!!!
This could actually be worth one million dollars if not even more. I was 9 years old in 1968 and I remember being turned off by a full box of 12 baseball card cello packs on display because there was no gum to chew. With 3 pieces of gum inside those packs and back in 1948 its no wonder every pack was opened it wasn't for the cards it was for the gum!!!
Gum in the mouth and a once pristine Musial in the bike spoke! Did you hang on to your childhood collection?
Back in 1968 the mind set was once the next year cards were out last years cards were worthless. I would have gladly given you a mint 1967 Willie Mays for one pack on 1968 baseball cards because the last years cards had no value to us at all. Ironically I would still take that pack over a mint 1967 Mays card. Little did I know those 5 cent wax packs I was buying would be worth $500 dollars in my lifetime. I also remember the 1974 rack packs hanging up at Toys r Us at the checkout line and having no interest in buying them at all because I felt the quality of the 1974 set was poor. In fact I think that is why the 1975 set looks so much better then the 1974 set because there must of been a lot of negative feedback about that 1974 set. I bought a complete 1974 set in 1975 for around 15 dollars which included shipping.
Given the demographic trends,say 50 or 75 years from now,will there be enough people interested and have the wherewithal to want these cards?
I dont think there will be. I love the 1948 bowman cards, im 5 cards away from having a complete psa5 set. Thankgod i bought the rizzuto berra and musial rookies 4 years ago. The prices atm are sky high. My favorite set of all is the 1949 bowman, they just look old and cool with the color splash and have a almost hand drawn essence look to them. The 49 set is alot larger and i have about 100 cards to go, sadly i dont have the paige rc in a psa5 i wont be able to afford one.
$550k this sold for. You know $25k a pack about the price of current top tier boxes stuffed with autos and relic garbage.
Autos and relics were only cool when they weren't common. Now every pack has them and this trend in carrying on into the 1of1 card fad. The gimmicks of the hobby need to stop. It was only cool when you had a similar chance as everyone else. Now only well off individuals have those chances on the weekly openings. I had to save for two years to be able to afford a $8000 box and when the time came I didnt buy it. I went and bought a shoeless Joe PSA 6 from a friend. It was the sane choice as i have always drea.t of having a shoeless joe ard from his playing days. The 1940 playball is a cool card and I have had it for decades, but i dont consider it a real shoeless card as its not from his playing days. My friend basicly gave me the card beings he knew I would cherish it and give it a good home. I look at it most daily and remember how lucky i am. At the time i bought it for about a 8th of its actual value And no i will not sell it although i have it listed on ebay for an insane amount.
i agree with all you said. its like topps or any card manufacturer has a money printing machine that can produce 1 of 1 anything. its absurd. it really spits in the face of a true 1 of 1 kind of a find like this. many jersey patch cards say its game jersey but probably not game worn or play in. most likely a warm up jersey or back up jersey.
This ended up going for over half a million!
If I was a wealthy man (multi-millionaire) I would have paid over 600k for the box. I probably would have opened them... Imagine if they all graded out to PSA 9.5's or higher? You would have to figure a pack fresh PSA 10 common from that set would go for at least $750-$1,000... And obviously you're going to get your fair share of stars out of 19 packs...... IMO, 500k was probably a bargain... That's like a little under 25k a pack..... All you gotta do is pull 7-10 PSA 10 stars out of the box and you made your money back + profit....
the wrappers and box would have value too!
Nikola Tesla Dr Tesla, if these packs were to have gone straight from the pack and to the graders, not a single card would receive a gem mint grade. Please look into card trimming and even the espn t206 wagner documentary where it explains it is trimmed and the guy that started psa said he knew it was when grading it.
@No need h
Wait, how can the cards be trimmed if they're "unopened" 1948 Bowman packs? are you saying someone opened the packs, took the cards our and then put "trimmed" commons in the packs and resealed them?
Did someone buy this box, open the packs and determine this? or are you just speculating?
I'm kinda confused here, I mean yea I'm all too familiar with "trimmed" cards, that was a problem back in the 80's & early 90's when card condition really started to play a role and higher grade vintage cards were more desirable. Many shady collectors would trim cards, but trimmed cards were obviously easy to spot.... I'm confused as to why you believe these sealed 1948 Bowman's are trimmed?
Yea, I do know one of the T206 Wagner's is trimmed, but it's not the "Gretzky Wagner" it's one of the other examples..... If it matters, I'm sure there are a couple more T206 Wagner's out there.. When I was a kid a friend of mine's grandfather had an extensive vintage collection (this is back in the 80's) of everything from T206 to 1960 Topps, he said he collected for many years and he actually had a T206 Wagner, and he showed it to me with the rest of his collection - and at the time even as a kid I collected the same vintage cards he grandfather collected because I always just love the old HOF'ers and just the cards themselves... The old guy was impressed with my knowledge of his "era of baseball" and he gave me a whole stack (about 100) g-vg-ex Goudey & Play Ball commons/semi stars from the 30's just for taking cards with him, he was impressed that I could identify all the Topps and Bowman's and Goudey's, T206 Wagner especially.... I had a great time that day.. This old man had about a dozen shoe boxes, and another 20 or so cigar boxes of all these vintage cards, and it was crazy because none of them were protected they were just sitting in the boxes all those years like they were since he started collecting them over time... I told him he should really get them protected and he scoffed at that and insisted he took really good care of his cards, lol..... By now the old fella has probably passed on, I sure hope his collection fell into good hands because what he had would be considered a "major find" in this day and age.... Wouldn't be shocked if Alan “Mr. Mint” Rosen eventually got his hands on the collection...
This is a little bit off topic from that and back to the "trimming" -- to be honest I have no problem with lower grade cards, I think beat up cards have character, and every beat up card has a story behind it (which I really do appreciate as a collector), but I will say I have no desire for trimmed cards at all. I could care less if a card is "poor or vg" but if it's trimmed I have no interest - to me that card was was defaced on purpose... I own 8 super low grade 1952 Topps Mantle's - yea they're beat to shit and the best of the 8 would probably grade a PSA 2.5 or 3, and if I have an opportunity to buy another low grade 52 Topps Mantle I will for the right price, but a few years back I had an opportunity to buy a trimmed version for $250.00 at a show, the card was pretty clean, no creases, and minor surface wear - it looked really nice - but it was trimmed - and I told the guy I wouldn't give him $25 bucks for the card because to me - that card has been purposely destroyed in an attempt to deceive someone, and i just don't like that at all... The guy selling it obviously knew it was trimmed (when I asked to see it that's the first thing that came out of his mouth) so he wasn't trying to rip me off obviously but...... And it's sad too because had that Mantle not been trimmed way back when (70's or 80's) there is a good chance even with moderate corner wear that card would have graded a PSA 6 at the very least perhaps 7 just given the coloring, surface front & back and the centering was nice too, but you know what? some asshole 30-40 years ago had to trim 1/32 er 1/64th of an inch off that card and now it's worth little to nothing, and since he took so little off the card (maybe 1/64th) the corner wear couldn't have been that bad to begin with, but now it's worth little - certainly nothing to me.... It's a shame too because the card was "sharp" but you could tell it was trimmed because it was "smaller" and you could just tell even at 1/64th on each side that the card was smaller, hence trimmed.... IMO, if you add it up 1/64th off each side makes the card 1/32nd of an inch narrower, do the same with top and bottom and the card shrinks....... Just a shame, I should have bought it and done a youtube video about it, but having the card would just piss me off.
Anyways, that's how I feel about trimmed cards..
If it matters I have bought "cut up cards" where kids cut the borders off entirely........ I bought a handful of cards at a garage sale many moons back where some kid took his doubles, and cut the player out of one card and glued him over the same player on another card to create kind of an "embossed" effect .... I thought that was pretty creative - it as baseball art to me so I had to have em, and still do....
At any rate, nice talking to you...
Oh and if you know how you know those 48 bowman's in sealed packs were trimmed I would love to know..
Nikola Tesla im saying these cards dont make those grades without being trimmed or altered. And how great it would to have been able to make someone open the packs live to.be graded then and there. A lot of high grades come from uncut sheets. Beckett at one point was notorious for grading cards from sheets and the value for there mint or gem mint grade wasnt nearly the value of psa. Thr fbi has been involved befotr. Just google around.
How did you get your hands not hat
*on*
gotta be worth 9,000,000,00,000,000,000,000
Ill give you $500 cash for the whole box. U deliver tho.
i would do a pay per view pack rip. just get 500k viewers to pay $3. that would gross $1.5 million
To bad the gum probably ruined every back card in the packs.
Time travel will exist and many packs will come back and not as many of the 1952 topps will sea the ocean because I'll just buy $500 worth of pre 1952 us currency and bring back as many packs that can get me and take a trip to New York City, Boston, Chicago and Detroit in September I would think of that year. Until then I need to buy old us dollars and some old school clothes.
Look out for other time travelers doing the same exact thing! 😎😂
There is no doubt that i would be opening every pack and having each card slabbed and 1 pack graded/unopened. Box sold separately lol
Ahhhhhhhhhhh making... I just subscribed
This is some Indiana Jones stuff! 😲
I would not sell unless I needed like a new kidney or sumthin!!
Hmm I’ll give you my soul
We all die, and your baseball cards don't come with you.
All pre-opended like the other wax packs
Maybe the guy who owns these , needs a kidney???...... I got one on deck for ya Sir.....Tradesy's????
Sell the box for discounted for 9 million. The wrappers are worth a million alone. Call Hunter Biden
Me want it
I'll give you $10 a pack, or $150 for all 19.
That would be grossly undervalued. It ended up going for over half a million.
You couldn't even smell them for that price
You might get a broken piece of gum for 150$ ...mabey
Rich Richard I thought your name was Rick or Chumlee for a second there.
you gotta open em. at least for the gum
We are not worthy, lol
Go on Pawn Stars that's gotta be 500k?
Rick will offer 1k for the whole lot....remember he has to "frame them", "grade them" and the market is weird right now lmao....
he is taking all the risk, even after he calls a buddy down to take a look..
As long as you get along famously
Yeah, and he has to take up space by displaying it. Don't forget that one.
Interesante 🤗
🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 plenty of better black players
I have 2 boxes unopened. Mine are better
If you ever want to sell, give us a call. 303-840-2784. This one went for half a million!
Yea right..im sure that was his sad attempt to be funny..start a CHANNEL or post proof..id pay to see a picture of yours bro.those cards will always be wanted.
