"The product is rounded out by both box toppers and box bottom cards. Every hobby box comes with either a 5 x 7 Box Topper that features someone who isn't in the base set or a perforated three-card Darby Chocolate Panel. 5 x 7 cards also have randomly inserted memorabilia parallels that are numbered to 50. Every hobby box also has a three-card panel printed on the bottom of the box."

I can't help but cringe a little to see my beloved Mello Mint back defaced with a Panini logo, but maybe it will get the kids interested in prewar.

I agree! I find any new cards featuring old candy tobacco brands on the back cringeworthy. It just doesn't make any sense really?
