Kenneth A. CohenMy first recollection is of buying 1958 cards at the checkout counter of Peoples Drug Store, long since subsumed into the CVS chain. In relation to my house, it was located pretty much at the outer limits of where a 7 year old could ride his bike without adult supervision, about a mile or so away. (Today a 7 year old couldn't go 20 feet.) Growing up in Alexandria VA I was an avid Senators fan. The following year I can remember sifting through the top and bottom cards of a bunch of 1959 Topps clear cellophane 10-card packs and finding a Harmon Killebrew on top of one of them. I snapped that sucker right up.
