Fright Flicks
No mention of "Fright Flicks" (a line of horror movie based trading cards from the same era as Garbage Pail Kids)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C54:4600:1C31:58A3:F22E:FBA0:EBE3 (talk) 05:31, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Never heard of them. Need some sources to add them to the article. And that's even if they're worth mentioning and not just one of the dozens of short-lived lines that have been published and have no significant impact. (Unlike Garbage Pail Kids, which became classics.) oknazevad (talk) 03:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Correcting Founding History
Hello: I would like to suggest a correction to the first paragraph of the article about Topps. There is some confusion about the American Tobacco Company. The book citation referenced in the Topps Wikipedia article (Hornish, David (July 3, 2013). The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956. Lulu.com. p. 8. ISBN 978-1-304-19328-5) mentions there were several companies started with this name. The one that is connected to Topps was the one started by Morris Shorin in 1908. The revision below replaces the last two sentences in the first paragraph of the history section.

I’ve included a corrected rewrite along with a couple of additional sources that mention Morris Shorin, and the four Shorin sons that founded Topps. Thank you for your time and consideration, MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Topps was founded in 1938 by four brothers, Abram, Ira, Philip, and Joseph Shorin. The roots of Topps can be traced to American Leaf Tobacco, incorporated by the Shorin brothers’ father, Morris Shorin, in 1908. MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
