M. D. Jackson said...: I can still smell the newly purchased packs like it was yesterday. The gum was a stick and hard like candy untill you chewed it soft which was just before the flavour ran out and the cards were coated with powder.; April 2, 2011 at 9:41 PM
Kal said...: Next to action figures fresh out of the package I like no smell better than bubble gum cards.; April 2, 2011 at 9:47 PM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: The last set of bubble gum cards I ever bought had the Beatles on them. It was the mid-60s and I was around 8. I tried to collect them all so that, when they were all turned over and rearranged, you'd have a huge poster of the Fab Four. Didn't succeed. There were always just one or two cards that were incredibly rare so you'd keep buying in the hope of getting them.; April 2, 2011 at 10:04 PM

D.I. Felipe González said...: I can't recall none of those wrappings (american gum was very rare and hard to acquire in the subtropical regions of México in the 1970's).; April 3, 2011 at 9:47 AM
