chris n I would buy my cards in in 1970 and 1971 at a local 7-11 in Suffolk cty NY but could never finish the set because of the HI# cards. I finally started buying from Larry Fritsch from the Sporting News and was lucky to get my 1972-1973 Football and Baseball sets from him which I still have. I finally went back to buying packs up to 1979 for the excitement and challenge. I also remember going to card shows in NYC where for about $10 you could buy 2 boxes of 500 unsorted cards from Topps and one of the dealers would guarantee you a complete after you sorted your cards and traded your doubles back.
