IcollectDCsports, as a Dodger fan, I hesitated to try a candy bar named after Mr. Jackson. But as a baseball fan and collector (and avid chocolate eater), I figured I had to try it. As I recall, it was OK. Nothing great.

philliesfan, yes!! I can't wait to see that video!

JoeDfan, in 2011 I bought a couple unopened packs of 1987 Topps just for the gum. It literally disintegrated in my mouth after two bites. That was 24 year-old gum at the time. I'm hesitant to see what 40 year-old gum looks like, much less put it in my mouth.

I've chewed old Topps gum before. It likely won't hurt you, but isn't gum anymore.

It wasn't gum when it was packed, and it was old before then. I'm guessing the gum in 1972 packs was leftover from the 1963 distribution.

Whatever it was or is, I will never forget that smell that always puts me in a happy place.

I have this box of Wade Boggs .352 bars. I am not near brave enough to try one.

Default 60s -70s Topps

I collected Topps in the mid to late 60s, and early 70s, and I will never forget the smell of that gum with the powdered sugar and all.

And I would take a bite (a small one)

Ironically this card, a few years before my time. is sitting on my desk right now. I have no idea when I got it....certainly in the past 15 yrs?....always liked this card...

I have one of these somewhere in the baseball room.
Did they also make a Ken Griffey one? I seem to remember at least a couple of different players.
