These cards were nowhere to be found in NY in 1975, and my friends and I had no idea this set even existed until many, many years later. Now that I'm out in California, these suckers are extremely easy to find. I've been told by quite a few people that in 1975 they were sold everywhere in these parts, just like 'regular' Topps cards.

I can verify that the 1975 minis were available in Southern California. I opened dozens of rack packs of them in 1975. My parents bought them for me mainly at a Long's Drug Store in San Diego. I sat at our kitchen table and had stacks of minis all over it I ultimately completed the set with the addition of some cards bought at some local shows in the late 1970s.
