GPD, let us know how the bubble gum is. lol The gum always used to be brittle as glass. And just as sharp when it shattered apart in your mouth. Usually lost it's flavor pretty quick too. But the gum was just a bonus anyway.

Unfortunately, almost every card is available on ebay for $1+.

They are, but most are off center with small corner creases. Looks like I won't get better than an 8 rating on most of them.
