Five cent Topps wax is the stuff of legend among unopened pack collectors, and 1956 is the toughest nickel pack there is.  So when a wrapper shows up it's a noteworthy event.  The bright yellow is certainly eye-catching, while the lefty pitcher rearing back sets the scene for the unwrapping. With the original factory folds present, there's some holing in three or four spots and a small slice of the left edge has been left behind, clearly a casualty of the original opening by an excited young lad. The vintage Bazooka ad is icing on the sunshine cake here.
