Default Where'd you buy those packs as a kid?

Posted By: ockday

For me,in the early 60's, it was 2 stores on Kings Highway in Brooklyn..Joe's Variety Store and Nat's luncheonette.
Joe's was my favorite because he used to have a big bin where he dumped hundreds of cello packs and I used to sort through them looking for any Yankees showing, and Mantle in particular. I would flip cards with my friends but always tried to keep the Mantles for myself. I accumulated a real nice stash of Mantles but we moved to a new home in 1968 and the cards vanished during the move.
Definitely great memories!
