Ordering a set of these cards
hi does anybody know if you can still purchase these sets of gum cards.if so where.thanks dds30@msn.com


 * The cards have been out of print for 40 years. Individual cards are often seen for sale at the larger national baseball card shows, and are almost always listed on eBay. it's much harder to find complete sets for sale, although every once and a while, they are offered on eBay. The are usually relatively expensive as a set. Individual cards are around $5 or so. Scott Mingus 01:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CWN-46.jpg
Image:CWN-46.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

UK issue
As I recall the UK version was marketed by A & BC gum in 1965 and you only got 2 cards and 1 banknote in each wax pack. They curiously gave a cohort of British kids a knowledge the of the American Civil War that was never taught at school then or now. Although it now seems astonishing that primary school children were able to buy such bloodthirsty images even though it didn't seem much at the time (86.140.193.169 (talk) 21:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC))
