Another of those sets that was definitely marketed in California. I bought wax packs in Castro Valley and other East Bay locations, remember buying rack packs at Mervyn's Toy store in San Lorenzo....there was enough gap in the packaging that you could thumb the cards..Hank Aaron #660 was my favorite card / player that year and he was almost always found in the center pack .I've since forgotten who was on top or bottom of him, but managed to accumulate a good sized stack by the summer (100 or so). I attended the Southern California shows across from Disneyland and remember buying a box of cello packs from a So. Cal dealer. Shortly after I bought the box, I found out that they were available in quantity (and priced lower) at Dodger Stadium, in fact into 1976. Southern California was the only locale that I've ever confirmed for the cello packs being sold. I've never seen any other packaging beyond those three methods.... In later years I have purchased collections which originally were assembled in other parts of Northern California as well as Washington (Olympia to Seattle areas)... Initial collation was wild and complete sets were hard to assemble. Not factoring in the size variances and the full bleed edge "miscuts" , it was tougher to put together sets in '75 than it is today..... I guess the next nostalgic sets to cover are Hostess....
