Purchased at a junk barn in rural Georgia on our way to a family vacation over Christmas about 1977. The old man running the barn had a cigar box full of them, 2 for $5. He also had box after box of Topps and Fleer Baseball greats. I was only 11 or 12, conned my folks out of $10 and bought these and the 1968 team set of the Cardinals.... Could have had Ryan or Bench rookies for a dime!!!!

2 years later we went to Florida again, I saved for 2 years to buy the old man out, and when we got there the barn was closed, we asked at the house, and his son said he died a few months prior and he auctioned everything off......
