Default Instant $50 credit - Quick Net54 Sunday board game
OK......first one to answer this question correctly in this thread gets a one time, instant $50 credit on my for-sale website. I just looked and there are lots of cards for $50 or less. The rule is that you can only use it once and if the whole $50 isn't used you don't get the extra cash back. So if the card is $45 then that is it. You CAN combine cards to get to $50 or add a few dollars if one is more than $50, to get to the amount of the card. SO here ya go.....There will be a regular board game later on in the month but this is just for you Sunday morning viewers that care to think about cards....

In our beloved, but little talked about E223 set, what does G and B stand for?

G & B Chewing Gum of NYC

Not sure what the G and B stand for, perhaps the B is for August Beck and the G is for Goodwins.

Best I could come up with

sorry OBC.....I do have the name written down....and it's not the mfg August and Beck, of course....c'mon guys....although I will say for as long as I have been a type collector I only just found this out recently...It's not real easy....which will give a little time for a few more folks to play..

Is the "G" General Santa Anna and the "B" Battle of the Alamo?

Long shot but after reading this, and now I know entirely too much of the history of chewing gum, I'll take a wild guess...

Very nice guess....but no banana......

For the record no one has guessed even one of the names yet. I will show/tell where I found the answer when the game is done...

Is it possible that this is one of those impossibly rare bits of information that has yet to make it to the internet? Nice question Leon!

Damn. And Wolfram Alpha isn't available until tomorrow

How about Gossett & Bell?

Max- hey, you are in their fighting it out. I have had a few private emails with how folks came up with their guesses too. Very clever.

Matt- I have a strong feeling this information is no where in cyberspace...or at least not searchable. Ya'll need to remember that one of my collecting niches is old hobby periodicals......I have many different series put out up to 50 yrs ago....
