They had vending boxes for some time thereafter as well.

I don’t remember if we got them at 7-11, it was too long ago. Every time we went in to a store that had baseball cards, we would buy a pack. If they were a series we didn’t have, we would each buy a box and trade to complete our series. In 1967, we kept buying packs in hopes they would be 7th series and kept getting 6th.
