I think it depends on what part of the country you were in. In California, we were just getting the 1st series cards in mid April. 1974 was the 1st year we had baseball cards on the opening week of the season. Third series would have been late May- early June for us. I do remember getting 6th and 7th series cards in August 1969, which was early for us compared to other years.

We had the 1st 2 series earlier in New Jersey. I think by March we were done with 1-2 and by April we were into series 4. I think series 3 was in March

I was in western CT then. Which is difficult as far as timing goes. Sometimes we got stuff on a NY schedule, sometimes on a "hey it finally showed up" schedule. Either way, It looks like that anniversary has passed already.

Here's to another 50 years! (I hope)

I bought one pack of 69's (my first ever) and promptly lost them all flipping. In 1970 I bought dozens of packs, many of them racks. What a difference a year makes!
