Kingswood Topps Trading Cards, Part 1

Kingswood Topps Trading Cards, Part 1

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with sports trading cards.  In baseball, especially, I was brutal.  I would trade five Mickey Mantles for one Arnold Portocarrero if the latter was tough to get.  Remember, in those days we purchased our Topps cards one package at a time, for a nickel.  The bubble gum … Continue reading

Come dawn, the administrative team met on the Main Lodge front porch for our usual 7:30 … Continue reading
