Whether the story is specifically true is up to debate, but the regularity with which stuff was dumped into the ocean way back when was a fact of life. I recently saw a prohibition era newsreel where they were dumping seemingly thousands upon thousands of weapons seized from organized crime right into the Atlantic Ocean. My mouth was agape, but it was SOP back then. And I don't know the actual specifics of the 'legend,' but if Topps jettisoned their surplus into the drink, it doesn't mean they ran their own barge out there. I'm sure they could've brought their junk to some sort of collection point where companies from all over brought their rubbish to be disposed of. Who knows.
