I'm 40 now and have been collecting comic books and baseball/football/hockey cards since I was about 9. I'm sure most of you have heard how sports cards have been booming since Covid started and I was wondering if this was a hobby that could be taken over by the woke mafia like comic books. It is a hobby that is enjoyed by a large percentage of guys so that is one target. I am almost waiting for the headline telling me that baseball cards are "problematic".

Ha! You know sometimes I’ll come across packs from 80s and 90s with the gum in them and I still chew it. Or rather eat it since it is hardened.
Oh, it was always that hard, trust me. It's just how it was.
I didn't say it was great gum.
Canadian ration packs of the early 80s included boil-in-bag stuff (Magic PantryFreddyChef) along with other stuff, including tubes of spread for the horrible crackers. The cheese spread was off limits at the time, because of a tainted batch that dated to something like 1979 or some crap. This held true the entire four years I was in cadets.
I often wonder if that cheese ban has ever been lifted.
The stuff was meant to be able to be stored for a very long time ...
