Green Beret Bubble Gum Cards

[SFpanama]

I enjoyed seeing those old cards. A lot could have been done with these with some creative marketing to the right niche. Packs for different SF Groups, RVN Recon Teams, MOH recipients, different theaters of operation, etc. Here's a Men of the Green Berets Bubble Gum Cards wrapper.

From 1964–67, the Philadelphia Chewing Gum Company (PCGC on the cards)had a license from the National Football League to produce trading cards of leading football players, while Topps produced cards for the rival American Football League. These football cards are today highly collectible. The Philadelphia Chewing Gum Company also produced a set of 55 self-adhesive stickers of Marvel Comics superheroes, as well as trading cards based upon "World War II," "Men of the Green Berets," "The Story of Robert F. Kennedy," and many others.

DC comics also did "Tales of the Green Berets" illustrated by Joe Kubert who did the SGT Rock and Men at War (The Haunted Tank) comics. I used to have them and wish I still did. Kubert also did a daily comic strip of the "Tales of the Green Berets" with the main characters being a reporter named Chris something and an SF MSG named Champ something (damn this CRS). Anyway, I was in high school during that time and remember reading them.

Heeheehee! Touche', bro. Funny thing is, I downloaded that onto my hard drive some years ago because of it's novelty. I never thought that I'd be posting it any where.
