Vintage Pictures of Vintage Card Displays

[Lorewalker]

So we all have seen that cool Dime Store pic of the 52 Topps display. Maybe it is from Woolworth's. I found this one today. Maybe you all have seen it. Anyone else have one to share so we can go back in time?

[Gmrson]

Very cool!! It's the stuff dreams are made of....

Middle shelf is mostly Topps, left to right : Unknown bagged product likely not theirs, Clor-Aid Gum (Topps Clorets type gum, they got their asses sued and took it off the market), Wings, two different series of 1953 Baseball (3rd series for sure, 2nd next to it?), party boxes of Bazooka, unknown product again (Adams gum?)

Here's a picture of a kid enjoying his baseball cards in the Detroit News 1955.

The original post display is great and this one is how it used to be .>

Several 1974 Topps baseball wax boxes on full display at a Woolworth candy aisle.

He looks like he’s about to finish gluing the “good” cards to his album. The rest will go onto his bicycle spokes. If he only knew...

The kid didn't have much luck as I see 3 1952 Bowman St. Louis Browns.

1953 Bowman B & W Stengel just above the barrel of the bat. (Casey's head lopped off by a 52 Topps card.)

I'm sure someone on the board here has the '53 wrapper, if not each year of Topps and Bowman....

Absolutely Love the Woolworth's picture. From 1974 till 1978 when our local Woolworths closed down My Dad and I would stop by in september and the Manager would sell us all the left over boxes he had for 40% off retail. we opened almost all of it to build sets...

I remember back in 1966 the local Woolworth's in Hannibal, Mo. had a sheet of 1966 Topps Baseball and the old gal who worked there would cut out the one's you wanted.
I still have the Mantle but she didn't care much about cutting the lines straight.

It's telling that young Jimmy has a helluva lot more of the semi-high numbers (including a Mantle) than the high numbers...but at least the high packs made it to his part of the country, which is nice!!!
