on vintage baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sport and non-sports cards.
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.
The information on back of many cards was somewhat spotty and
sometimes wrong. Card #39 claims Yamamoto was shot down in 1953
rather than 1943. Another in demand and interesting card is
Boston Red Sox Rookie sensation Harry Agganis and mention of
his death on back.
