Here is a wrapper from my non sports collection.
As a seven year old in 1962, I was building a set, but lost them all running around during recess.☹️
In 1971, I discovered Wholesale Cards had most of the set (44 out of 55) available through mail order. Through The Trader Speaks, I posted a WTB ad for the remaining ten cards, and was able to find nine. In 1977 after graduation from college, I found a tiny closet sized shop near the UC Berkeley campus selling sports cards, run by Dennis King, and he provided the last card that I needed. Dennis still runs a shop near campus today.
