   Had been meaning to circle back to Steve's comments about the advice he got to save cards with funny wrappers and his less than enthusiastic comment about Topps Thirst Break Gum The Thirst Break gum had a wrapper that depicted a sport figure. There were 54 or so subjects and baseball was just a subset. Usually on such sets, like Hocus Focus and Who Am I, I just collected the baseball subset. On the Thirst Break set I did them all for some reason. I bought most as singles or in lots on ebay , but could not find them all. So I bought an unopened box ( sometime around 2005). The gum was issued in 1981. I think it was orange then. It is a gooey brown mess now. I found the ones I needed but it took a long time to clean the wrappers of the gum without damaging the comic. I have some gum left if someone wants a taste Also, here are some of the funny wrappers
