Are there any trading cards coming out anymore that have the old powdery stick of gum that Topps used to have? | ||

I am going to say no on health & safety grounds but that is just an assumption on my part. ____________________ Come, it is time for you to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man. | |||

It's funny when you think of it but Topps sold gum. The cards were incentive to buy gum. They were free with the gum for 5 cents. | |||

I always preferred Bazooka. I could be wrong, but I can't ever recall getting a good chew from those packs. The stick just cracked and broke up into little pink pieces with white smeary powder. Sorry TOPPS. ![]() | |||

Monsterwax's "Lost in Space: The Art of Ron Gross" from last year has a stick of gum in every pack. The Mario Super Sluggers promo pack from 2008 had an individually-packed stick of gum much like the old gum of the 70's. | |||

The last Monsterwax set also had sticks of gum in every pack and they were Wrigleys inserted in penny sleeves which were slightly folded to fit the pack. Quite a laborious job with over a thousand to do. regards John ____________________ | |||

The gum in the card packs was pretty good when fresh. I chewed a lot of it. It was the same as Dubble Bubble or Bazooka depending on which brand of cards you bought (Fleer or Topps).This message has been edited. Last edited by: Ace of Hearts, | |||

My favorite are the mid-1990s, stamped bubble gum promotional Superman cards. A sealed in clear plastic, slightly oversized piece of gum, factory stamped on the gum itself with promo info on the then upcoming Superman trading card set. Very innovative. ____________________ | |||

Albert, there was one for the Batman Animated set, as well. I have both. | |||

I draw the line at collecting gum. And that Lois & Clark chocolate bar too. Candy is meant to be eaten! | |||

I had both those promo gums but thought they might deteriorate over time with the print becoming illegible so I sold those years ago. I saw someone selling the Superman one last year and it still looked like it was in good shape. I have at least one of the Ken Griffey Jr. candy bar promos - a card that promotes a candy bar and there are color variations. Jess
