1941-1942 War Gum (R164)

The 1941 War Gum set of (132) 2-1/2" x 3-1/8" cards were issued Gum Inc. picturing war events, generals and heroes. It began in 1941 and continued into 1942.

The cards were quite similar to Gum Inc.'s Horrors of War set, but with tamer images and more focus on the bravery of the allied forces. Horrors of War seemed to focus more on the atrocities of our enemies.

The backs reminded you to "Buy War Bonds and Stamps for VICTORY." Sadly, this was the last great bubble gum card set issued in the U.S. before the war effort cut off supplies of essential materials.

1976 O-Pee-Chee (OPC)
Baseball Cards

The 660-card 1976 O-Pee-Chee Baseball set is a mirror image of the 1976 Topps Baseball set. OPC and Topps sets featured the following special subsets: Record Breakers, Father and Son, League Leaders and All-Time Leaders. Of special interest is the final active player card of Hank Aaron.
The average centering was awful, like most vintage O-Pee-Chee issues.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
