Ok, Al...I get so pleased with myself and my little stash of redbacks and my one little blueback pack, and then you have to go and post that... Sheesh!
One whale of a neat bit of 1951 Topps eye candy. Would love for a stash of the candy packs to surface. Complete with Connie Macks...
I feel very confident that someone out there has a few 56 and 58 packs...they just don't have any motivation to sell or publicize. And I would guess that the slabbed card craze has cost us a significant number (relatively speaking) of the surviving few packs from the 1950's. What kid in his right mind would have saved more than one or two of those? It was agony for me to save one each of the years I collected. I am just lucky that I can still relive my childhood for 20 bucks a box instead of 10k a pack...
