Prompted by some forum discussion, a lunch and game with DOB and a trawl on the net I have a visual feast for gamers and children of a certain age like me...

See how many you remembered... I really enjoyed this and sat glued to the screen for the entire slideshow:

Managed to get the whole set of civil war cards a few years ago and they take pride of place on the bookshelf. I remember a WW2 set from the same time but have never been able to track them down.

Did you also get the Confederate money as well Kev?

Dave, Only managed to get the cards. I don't suppose many of the notes have survived I know when I was spending my pocket money on them I didn't give the notes or the bubblegum I second thought, it was the cards I wanted.

I remember back when they were produced that some crooks were defrauding old post misstresses with the Confederate money so I think it was eventually taken out of circulation. Would love to have a set of everything to bring back memories. Perhaps you could bring your cards along to the next LOGW weekend or the Kirrie show for me to have a brouse?
Cheers
Dave

It was the confederate bank notes I remember best. I had a collection of them and tried cashing them in at the travel agent who I had heard delat in foreign currency!

Great to see those cards again. The bubble gum from memory was hard and pretty awful!
