And they're just a subset of the ones that were available. I remember collective Shintaro cards.

I'm glad to see you didn't self-destruct after carrying out your mission for UNCLE. Yes, I loved the Beatles and the Stones,knew the Monkees song ("I thought love was only true in fairytales"), didn't get chewing gum cards and thought Ilya Kuryakin was cool!

I too wish I'd still got mine, they had a lovely smell about them
as you got that flat piece of pink chewing gum out - such memories.

I wish I still had all of mine.

Never collected these cards, but plane numbers instead. I see Mick and the Boys travelled on HB-IMP of Swissair - I've still got my spotting books and can tell you I never saw that one!
