Am I correct that the new forum will have its own section for off topic posts? |

"I think it all went bad when they took the gum out of the packs. From that point forward it all went to hell." |

There is some truth to that, David. Once gun was removed from packs -- solely because greedy collectors were concerned about stains on their precious shiny cards -- our hobby changed dramatically. |

Keep in mind that the absence of gum was a gradual process. When I was a kid the wad of gum in a pack of cards was huge. As the years passed it got smaller, until it disappeared altogether. It was an insidious trick perpetrated on the youth of America. |

Leon, here is the quote from the forum rules. Admittedly, I hadn't read it before but don't have a problem abiding by it. |

Sorry but quoting scripture on the board just isn't going to be something allowed....whatever religion it might be. It's a judgement call....thanks for your understanding. BTW, you really need to put your whole name out here to participate in this thread, and yes, that goes for others that aren't well known too. best regards |

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't address the issue of consistency. The "rules" say religion and politics. No other distinction is made. |

That Topps gum in the late 50's, early 60's was great! I remember times as a little kid when instead of buying a pack of cards for a nickel and getting 8 cards and a stick of gum, we would use the same nickel to buy five penny packs. Only 5 cards but 5 pieces of gum |

Do you know what this country needs today?...A seven-cent nickel. Yessiree, we've been using the five-cent nickel in this country since 1492. Now that's pretty near a hundred years' daylight saving. Now, why not give the seven-cent nickel a chance? If that works out, next year we could have an eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back again. One nickel carefully used would last a family a lifetime! |

Let us not forget that way back when Topps' primary business was bubble gum. The cards were added to help sell the gum. Bob, you and I are the same age and I remember that gum real well. It was irresistable! |

. . . in today's Times there's an interesting article on Jiverly Wong. It provides some insight: had a tough time in the job market, tough time with English language, "a gun enthusiast who often spent weekends shooting targets and trying out different guns at a local sporting goods store. He had been licensed to carry handguns in NY since 1996 the Police said." "Happiness is a warm gun, momma. Bang, bang, shoot, shoot." What do hand guns have to do with sporting goods? |
