I've seen that photo before. I always liked the creepy mannequin hand rising out of the pile grabbing a pack. Maybe they were trying to scare kids into purchasing cards. Would have been cool. If only, if only.

Anyone have access to empty 1952 boxes?
be pretty cool to see someone "recreate" that today. I remember a similar seen of 1975 cards at my local 5&10. Grandma used to buy a bunch of rack packs for me every week!

Funny, but the only thing I remember about those old Woolworth stores was the pressurized tube messaging system they used. Each point of sale on the ground floor had an opening for a small container into which the clerk would insert bills or receipts and send them flying through the tubes overhead to an office upstairs. Impressive stuff to a seven-year-old. That photo is likely from the NY City area - Don't think the store in my old hometown even stocked the '52 cards.

As a 1952 Topps collector, that picture is incredible. Every time I see it the possibilities begin racing through my mind. Oh, to have a time machine!
