??  People over here (US) collect it.  I don't have any myself.  What are the Civil War cards (assuming US Civil War)?

[PRD]

Mid 1960's civil war cards depicting scenes from American civil war. Came with chewing gum. Were with drawn as pictures were too unpleasant.

[virginiajim]

These were in the UK?

[PRD]

Yes distributed by a co called Topps cards. Each pack also contained confederate money. We used to buy cards we did not have with the money.

[virginiajim]

Complete set $469 on ebay..   Wasn't much of gum chewer so I never saw them or realized they existed.

[PRD]

Knew I should have kept them.
