I stumbled across this web site while looking for something else.

I remember collecting these when I was a nine or ten years old.
I’d forgotten how graphic they were. I’m not sure you could get away with selling something like this now.
Does anyone else remember them?

Re: How the memory’s came flooding back
Hey Tobe,
Do I remember these ? Absolutely ! I remember going to the store on the corner and buying them.
About 6 years ago, I decided that I wanted the complete set of these Topps Civil War cards.
I shopped online on EBAY and completed the entire set bidding on them.
Each card is in a plastic holder.
By far, this set is my prized possession !

Yeah, I've got two complete sets and many more, plus the store display box. All these I collected in the 60's and kept in primo shape...my pride and joy.
And of course, the LITTLE Confederate bills.

Re: How the memory’s came flooding back
That is a great collection RebBugler !
I remember the boxes and the confederate bills !
As a kid I used to collect everything that had bubble gum in the pack.... :silly:
I wish I still had those from back then, they would be worth money....
:cheer:
