I remember enjoying small sheets of bubble gum which came with a picture of a film star inside - Clark Gable, Susan Hayworth, etc. I used to think they were all so glamorous, handsome and beautiful. I've no time for celebs now though, what a lot they are!

I remember those, I had about 70 and my Mom burnt them because my sister thought I'd taken her pic' of bellet dancers that she had collected out of the Bunty comics. Weeks later we found the Bellet dancers, but it was too late by then mine had gone forever.
I'm sure they would have been worth alot by now as I had almost a full set, I know this as they had numbers on themand they were all in good condition. I'm also sure I would have still had them because I've still got my Robinson's Gollies, and my 2 ABC minor's badges among others.

I've also just remembered about some little Black and White film negatives that I have tucked away in an old 'Plaster Tin" here somewhere. The neg' also came out of chewing gum packets and you need to save the wrappers to get the viewer. I never got the viewer, because my brother showed me how to use a torch and white paper to be able to view them.
