U.S. Presidents Trading Cards

In keeping with the "election theme," here are some U.S Presidents trading cards that I've had since good ol' '72.



Like my favorite Wacky Packages, these too were put out by by Topps.  They were sold in packs with the ever-present stick of gum, the same as Wacky Packs and baseball cards.  Each president up to 1972 was pictured on a card plus the '72 presidential candidates.  They sell on Ebay for $4.00 each on average.  Unopened packs are rare and pricey.  If I ever come into $$$, maybe I'll add to my little collection.

Enjoy!

    1. Thanks for all the comments! For being cheap (at the time) trading cards, these do have some interesting facts on the back.
