1956 Adventure cards |
Issued by Gum Products Inc., this 100-card set
covered a variety of subjects. Featuring mostly non-sport like
military or wild life, it also had a few sports related cards.
The most famous being Max Schmeling's card, removed very early from
the set for featuring the Nazi symbol, making it by far the
scarcest and most expensive in the set. 
1963 Topps Baseball Cards |
The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
