Default Did You Buy '52 Topps High Numbers As A Kid?

If anyone remembers buying them at the time of issue, can you share what city or town you bought them in and if it was in '52 or '53? Doing some research, especially on any distribution west of the Mississippi. Thanks! Message is posted on the pre-war side too!

Default Buying cards in 1952

I am pretty old Dave, but glad I can say "not me" on this one. First packs were 1957 for me

I started buying '52 high numbers when I was 18, but that was 10 years ago so I don't think that actually answers the original question...

I would be very interested to read research on this topic. Information on the distribution of the entire set itself would be fascinating to me, as I always assumed the set was limited geographically - mainly because, in upstate NY in the 1950's, I only saw the cards in the collections of kids who had travelled to the NYC area to obtain them. That they had been distributed west of the Mississippi, while I could not find them in stores a hundred miles away from Brooklyn seems strange to me.
