Marbles & Cookies
So did you find a Hal Smith black box in that store ?
Topps never had a real monopoly on baseball cards per se, but the contracts they asked players to sign ( Bowman as well) gave them the exclusive right to market the players likeness with gum or confections. I still have unopened Leaf and Fleer 63 packs. At least the cookies were so bland that no one complains much about cookie stains

That's a great story! It seems like just about any product that could be marketed to kids, involved baseball and cards of some sort. Hotdogs, ice cream, cake, cookies, candy...it must have been fun to grow up in the mid to late 50's and early 60's! Being born in 64, all I remember is opening packs and getting disgusting Topps gum. That awful taste still lingers in my mouth.

Gum
Lou-- you were not supposed to chew the gum, it was just to ad aroma to the cards...and sometimes residue. I like cards with gum stains. Gives them character

Thanks for sharing! In the late 90's I won a pack of 1983 Topps as a door prize at a show. At the time, the 83' Gwynn was a hot card, I think it booked around $80. Long story short - I pulled the Gwynn and was so excited my brain apparently stopped working and popped the piece of gum into my mouth..now that was a nasty piece piece of gum!! All-in-all though, it was still a good day!

Anybody know of any unopened '63 Fleers that still exist? I'd like to see one and how they were packaged.

The cookie is flat, more like a fat cracker
