Nice stash Kirk,
the boxes and packs take me back to november 1969 when i did my 1st show ever at the market place in Buena Park Cal, i was known as the kid from then on
i was 19 then and all the other dealers were much older than me i remember
So Cal legends like Frank Kish, Will Davis who is believed to have opened the
very 1st card shop in So Cal and i think David Kohler Sr, at that show i sold
a lot packs, and here is a crazy true story i broke several of those six-packs
to refill my 2 wax boxes when they run low,, great pics Kirk you took me down
memory lane way back.

Kirk, Thank you for posting those photos. Those boxes and cards are simply amazing. I cannot imagine how much fun it must have been to open those up.

For a super display, Kirk has a thread at the Collectors Universe forum. Truly remarkable display of 60's & 70's baseball and football.

Really amazing 1969 Topps pictures, Kirk, thanks for posting them. I like it that you took them on the carpet, it takes me back to 1969 when I was 10 years old and had my own stacks of 1969 cards on the floor in my living room, looking through them on a rainy day, listening to the Mamas and the Papas singing "Monday Monday" and seeing a card of Rick Monday. I never had the boxes, though, they are cool to see.

Troy,

Kind of interesting, as I notice:

We're both the same age.

Share the same name.

Both collected 69 Topps Baseball with stacks on the carpeting.

Both use to listened to the Mama's & The Papa's.

Both Big Detroit Tiger fans.


As fellow 10 year olds, we probably both dreamed of being in that bath tub with Michelle Phillips.
Or maybe that was just me. LOL

Nope, not just you. Michelle Phillips is STILL hot.

I am always a fan of Clemente's #50 card. Just an awesome photo that I prefer over his other issues. I also like his bio and how it states that he bats right....twice. I guess he never threw the ball???
