Subject: Collectible Card sets from the early 70's

Written By: Frank on 05/12/09 at 1:08 am

Wonder if anyone remembers either one of these 2 specific card sets, which I don't remember their name nor what year they came out.  Tried to find them on the net, but was not successful

First set:  Flags from all over the world, and also 5 or 6 "language cards" (one was Japanese, another Italian, comparing simple english words to each language)

Second set: Old style/antique cars. The cards were a little bigger than your average baseball card, and the cars were from "before the 60's" for sure. Some very old cars from the turn of the century as well.

Anyone remember these card sets? I think I collected them in between 1970 to 1973 ish.

I guess no one remembers these. I did not dream this up in one of my altered states. It really did exist. :)
Maybe it was just in Canada, don;t know.

could they have been cigarette cards?  Or the cards that used to come with tea leaves (though they were pretty small I seem to recall)

No, no cigarette cards nor tea leaves. I think there were only a few in a pack, but this was almost 40 years ago and my memory is a bit cloudy on that.

My favorite bubblegum cards were the Wacky Packages from the early 70's

Wacky packages were fun to collect. Did that in Junior High. I still have some stickers somewhere.

Anybody remember these?

I remember on the back of them was a part of a bigger photo. I think you needed something like 9 to complete the photo. I never did get the complete photo because I kept getting ones from different photos.

Certainly I remember those. They were quite popular. Most of the "Keith Partridge crazed" girls around us collected them. Guys collected Baseball and Hockey cards instead.
