first cards
An older boy (he was eight) gave me Topps cards of Sam Jones and Jackie Robinson as they were "doubles." Hey, why would you want TWO.
He said you could buy them at Kresge's in downtown Pontiac (Michigan). My father took me there and sure enough there was a box of Topps cards right next to the weird-ass orange drink machine that kept the juice swirling from the top down. We bought two packs and as I remember it, most of the cards were either Cleveland or the Browns and for the life of me, I have no idea what the wrappers looked like. I was so thrilled by the idea of the cards that I had no idea those were drawings.
