Original Toronto Star caption: Passion for cards: Bubble gum card collector Harry Levinson stands between two racks containing some of his 20;000 cards. His favorites are from old television shows. Levinson says more cards; at better prices; would be available to collectors if shows and conventions were held here for dealers and buyers from both sides of the Canada-U.S border.
