Kingswood Trading Cards

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:
