I was away on a 10 day trip, and just got around to reading this thread today. It brought back many of memories from my youth. Especially, collecting the 1952
Topps cards and the BOWMAN cards.

Thanks Dave for the "flashbacks" to my younger days.


P. S. regarding distribution of the 1952 Hi # cards,I can attest to the fact that our local pharmacy/soda fountain store in Hillside (NJ) had many of them. Friends
in Philadelphia had them. Also, a long-time friend of mine acquired them at Ben Franklin 5 & 10-cent stores in the Smokey Mountain region of North Carolina.


Best regards,

Hi Ted-glad you like my guide so far-some of your 52 hi # info made it into the book. Things were so much more regionalized back then with distribution, it's like a big puzzle trying to piece it together.
