Obtaining Topps High # series in the '60's
I am wondering if any serious Topps Baseball set collector's recall their collecting (presumably as kids) from the 1960's? I wanted to share my experiences, which were mainly difficulties...
I started collecting in 1964 and did collect every baseball from 1964 to 1970.
As a kid growing up in Southern California, I had numerous resources for Topps cards. The local pharmacy, the local five and dime, etc., etc. I just remember most every year virtually NEVER being able to obtain the last and high # series.
My guess is that cards to wholesalers on the Left Coast mostly never made it here. Does anyone know this to be fact? Please share your thoughts.
