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.

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...

bnorth, I don't remember those. Maybe it was a regional thing, as I definitely would have eaten some and stored some away as you did. But yes, I would recommend strongly against trying one.

smellthegum and Leon, I have been saying for many years that Topps should put out just the gum, and they'd make a killing. I'd buy a year's supply and chew it all in a week. But they really need to do it soon, before those of us in that market start dying off and/or getting dentures.

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.

I have no idea. Just have the Boggs box but I also seem to remember other players. Believe it or not I only have one Boggs box.
