I found a box of 1956 Elvis Presley trading cards on the shelf of a candy store in Jersey where I grew up, this must have been around 1979 or so. There were 6 packs left and I bought them all for the face value on the pack, 5 cents each. Walking home I opened one and gave it to my friend to eat as a joke - and he popped it in his mouth. He was one of those kids that every neighborhood seems to have who'd eat anything. I just remember a weird foam coming out the corner of his mouth before he threw it up!
