These cards originated from the bottom of gum boxes distributed across the country by Topps that year. The brand was Bazooka, which Topps had been using for its one-cent bubblegum. This year, Topps decided to pack 25 dual pieces of Bazooka gum in each box. A card was showcased on the reverse side of Bazooka Bubble Gum boxes. All cards feature a blank back and are classified as R414-15. The year 1959 marked the inaugural year of the Bazooka series, leading to a plethora of fantastic cards and inserts in the years that followed.

To ensure you don't purchase a counterfeit piece of history, always obtain a professionally graded card from a trusted seller. Graded cards are expected to appreciate significantly in value over time.
