Sometimes the last series of a Topps issue just wouldn't make it to my little town. I bought the last series of 1959 Topps from Card Collector's Co. for I think $7.00. I would have said they were straight from a vending case if I'd had any idea what that meant. Still got 'em.

I remember ordering complete Topps sets in the 70's from them and Topps and OPC hockey cards. If I knew then what I know now!

I believe rubber bands were invented specifically to hold together stacks of cards, such as seen with the 1975 Topps in the photo.

Would you say they've sold over 3 million cards in their career? ;-)

That smiling picture of Gelman was what started my interest in baseball card collecting. I still have the article that goes with that picture from the magazine. I cut it up and made my own scrapbook so I don’t recall the magazine. 8 year olds don’t think about those things. Yes I also put cards in my bike to make it sound cool!
The article lists the price for a Sports Kings Ruth @$ 20- 30, and a Wagner for an astronomical price of $4000. I would have been smiling too if I had a 52 Mantle and Robinson sitting in front of me. Stuff like this is why I like being a member of Net 54 hearing the stories and learning about the hobby history from those who lived it. Brett
