Way back in 1958, Bobby Wipfler successfully obtained the entire Topps Baseball Card collection for that year. I did it one pack (5 cents for 8 cards and a slab of bubble gum) at a time. Forever loyal to my roots, today I offer the first installment of the 2014 Kingswood Trading Card series. Enjoy:
I had ten of every one of these. Had mom not tossed them all out, I would be a rich man today!
Notice the similarity of poses by Mantle and Jack!
Harry has a traditional look…
while Colin takes the tough guy pose…
and William smiles for the Topps photographer!
Proper first base technique is shown by Devin …
while Tim looks like an All Star.
Start your Kingswood basketball collection, too. Will is a dominant player.
Charlie can lead an offensive surge..
while Payton is a good ball handler…
and Chris can sink a foul shot when needed.
Sawyer is card #1 of the inner tube collection…
and even those “100 Kingswood Games” such as “Three Toed Slothball” …
in which Luke was a first-time star, are included.
Stealth cards will be hard to find…
as this popular capture-the-flag in the woods game requires concealment, …
to the point where you won’t be able to tell all the players…
without a scorecard, unless…
you are the boy’s parent!
The Sabiston Fishing Team will feature an All-Star lineup…
and, lastly, you can look forward to many cards featuring…
“Morning Bedhead!”

Thanks Julie. I admit to having had fun with this one. I’ll do a snake-charming card and include your boys!
