Even though my time in SF was in the 60s, I've never seen these cards,
Interesting.

echoes, it's the index card for the set. I guess "checklist" sounds more Army than "index" for the little boys. Maybe the big boys, too. They stay serious about their toys at 60 as well as at 6. A friend at work who was Army in Vietnam collects Mattel type military dolls (figurines?). Gets them signed by people still in those units and such. Great collection, but you never woulda thunk it.

"Checklist Card"
Holly:
That's the checklist to make sure you have collected all the cards in the set.
I'm guessing you never did collect bubble gum cards in the '60's?
And never put them on the forks of your bike with clothes pins (remember those) from your mother's clothes line (remember those) so your bike would go: "bap-bap-bap-bap" when you pedaled and you could tell all your buddies you had a motorcycle.

Thank You for that information. Since I was born in '73...and my brothers horded all "the cards", I guess so. Only bright spot was I played with GI Joe figrues insted of dolls.

That's because they came in bubble bum packs not Brown's Mule packs.

I did the same, however I was using the baseball cards in the late 40s that today would have been worth a fortune. Could have used the damn bubble gum that came in sheets the same size as the cards. Stuff could cut glass Life was a little simpler then and Victory at Sea was my favorite TV show on Sunday mornings.
