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

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...

I was thinking "Gum & Baseball" at first.

But I'm sure I'm nowhere near right!

Well, I have the 1953 ACC and could not find it there. Of course I usually can't find anything in the ACC catalog.

Default One question for J.Hull

One question for J.Hull

Did you find the answer in the ACC or some place else? You won regardless if you want to answer this question or not. That was pretty tough just to have in your head for trivia....?

edited to respond to jcmtiger- that is why I did reference the year and page of the ACC. I found out the hard way that they aren't all exactly the same.
