The store I went to as a kid got raided by the FBI at one point.  It was where everyone local got their "football cards" something that totally baffled young me. Why was the FBI interested in football cards. I had a whole boxful. Was I in trouble?
No, these are different foot ball cards.
Well how do I get them, how may in the set? It's not those wonder bread ones is it? 
Soooo many questions. That also went unanswered until about 3 years later.
Tried getting one for the collection, but they were not easy to get, being used for "accounting purposes" by the issuer. |
My grandparents had a summer cottage on Big Pond in Otis until around 1974. We would go to the diner/coffee shop in town (Hall's) and they always had a few boxes of cards out on the counter. Usually they had the current baseball set and last year's football cards and sometimes the secondary issues like the previous year's Tattoos left over as well. Only place I ever saw cards up there as a kid.
