As an example, by august of 66 it was mostly Philly football with less of topps football. 66 went to the 6th series BB and that as it. 67 to the 6th as well. 68 to the 7th though 69 cant remember. We had selected non sport summer and fall. I had head maybe on this forum that the west coast got the majority of 67 7th series and that Vending 7th series was out there as well. I think this is where the short B Robinson card originated.

I was in Orange County, CA and we got no 1967 High #s at all. We got a ton of 6th series. We had more 6th series cards than any other series. I think there were some areas of the country that didn't get much of the 6th series, but got more 7th. We did get some 1966 High #s. 1959, 1960, 1964 and 1965 Highs were easy to find. 1961-1963 were almost nonexistent.
