We lived on East 15th Street and Avenue U in Brooklyn NY and we had 2 candy stores to buy packs from. One was next to the subway station and another one was one block over by East 14th St. One day, the guy under the subway charged us 2 cents tax for each pack and we never went back to him again. The other store got all our business from then on. I remember in 1970 buying tons of Topps first series and never getting a Dick Selma card to finish the series. I never finished the series until I went to a mid 1970's Paul Gallagher card show in a church by Lincoln Center and finally buying one.

I am the one who colored in the 1952 Topps Woolworth photo from the Lelands auction. I used Photoshop to remove the creases and clean up the photo and then add color. Here is the other photo I did of the 1953 packs.
