"Did Will buy it from Topps? Were they cut card cases?"........ Sorry James, my memory is fuzzy on whether they were cut card cases or not. I do not believe they were purchased directly from Topps. Up until the 80's, Topps would routinely sell their overstock / retailer returns to regional wholesalers.....Mike Cramer bought much of the West Coast overstock in the late 70's / early 80's, and Larry Fritsch bought much of the Midwest surplus...I should add that Southern California in the mid 70's was one of the best stocked regions for 60's vending case material...wish I'd purchased a few hundred more runs of 7th series '63's, but $5 for a stack of 12 year old cards was a lot of money....
