1965 Bazooka + Panels (R414-41)

Number of Cards

1965 Bazooka has 36 cards with 3 Cub players.

Size of Cards

The size of the hand cut cards measure approximately 1-9/16" by 2-1/2" panels each measure 2-3/4" by 5-1/2"

Basic Features

These numbered cards were featured as three-card panels on the reverse sides of Bazooka Bubble Gum boxes. Complete panels or entire boxes would fetch a premium price. As in the previous two years some of the players have the same numbers on their cards; however all pictures are different from the previous two years.

1965 Bazooka Panel

Without a doubt, my favorite pack of gum from that time features Mickey Mantle as the standout player, and it’s a bonus to have one of the greatest teams represented by pitcher Larry Jackson, who placed second in the Cy Young voting in 1964.

1922 Exhibits (W461)

Between 1921 and 1928, seven distinct sets were released, each featuring subtle variations that enable collectors to distinguish between them, despite the fact that ESCO (Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago) did not include any year on the cards.

Number of Cards

1922 Exhibits has a 74 cards which there are 5 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are 3 3/8" x 5 3/8"

Basic Features

The features include black and white images of players. The names of the players on the cards are presented in a slender cursive font, while their team names are displayed in a standard, non-italicized font. Alongside the player's team, the league and position are also specified. The font color on the cards changes based on the background; it appears in black when the background is a lighter shade and in white when the background is darker.

This collection would have been significantly improved if they were postcards; however, the back is blank, unlike most of the W461 set from previous years.

1972 TCMA Reprints (W-unc) Checklist

Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein are known as TCMA. It's a play on the names of the company's two founders. Throughout TCMA's 15-year existence, the business mostly manufactured cards that paid respect to the game's golden age, focusing on teams and stars from the 1920s to the 1950s. 1972 saw the first sets issued under TCMA’s name .

Below, I will provide the checklist for the Cubs, which is relatively simple to gather.
