Just to add ... I bought a ton of 71T's in 1971, in SF. Most from wax at a 5 & 10 on Ocean Ave. (Ben Franklin's?/early Summer) & some high #'s from a toy store somewhere in downtown SF. If I recall correctly ... the cards I bought from the toy store (I'm guessing late Summer/early Fall) were in a cello brick about the size of a big book. I seem to remember that because I'd never seen baseball cards up to that point except in wax packs. So it was kind of extra exciting :-) Is that even possible (I mean a cello brick)?
