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!

Default Origin of that photo

this photo appeared in a PSA monthly mag about 2 yrs. ago in discussing the 1952 card set.

This one's always made me want to jump back in time too! The rubber-banded 52's. Cards pasted in a scrap book! Ahh!
