Early Royals baseball cards

I’m going to take a one-week sabbatical from the five greatest Royals at each position to write a piece on baseball cards. Specifically, Royals baseball cards. I’d read something in one of the comment sections about how a reader missed the old days of baseball cards. If you’re over the age of 45 you can relate.

Back in the day, you’d go to your local Five and Dime or grocery store and buy a pack (or three) for a piddly amount of change. When I started collecting, way back in 1968, as I recall a pack would set me back a nickel.
