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.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
