Thanks for showing the letter. Postmark looks like 1973 on your letter. I was 9 then and wouldn't have known how to place an ad.
Living in Miami, Florida, there was not the baseball card collecting that you find up north US. I got the Sports Hobbyist couple of times, but my lack of funds and overall being inept, didn't lead me in that direction. My dream was collecting Topps Baseball and Laughlin cards in mid and late 1970's. Settled for the 7-11 or the "tobacco shop" for getting new stuff.
Either way, love insight to what went on in the 70's collecting of prewar.
