Agree. Fleer filed several FTC complaints in the 60s asking that Topps be found in violation of the antitrust laws. The FTC initially agreed with Fleer, but the courts reversed their decision finding that the Topps player contracts were exclusive only to the marketing of player likenesses with confections and that Fleer could market their cards by themselves or with other items
Lot of folks do not like gum stains on their cards. I really like them
