The 1960 Bazooka Presidents set is a (33) card set issued by the Bazooka brand gum from Topps. The cards were issued in panels of (3) cards each on the back of the box of Bazooka gum in 1960. Topps began issuing Bazooka cards in 1959 with their Baseball and Football sets and continued on until the early 1970's. The Presidents in the 1960 Bazooka set run from Washington through Dwight D. Eisenhower. The cards in the set aren't found often at all and when they are, they're typically found trimmed down to the single cards. Panels of (3) cards are rarely found. Within the set of (33) cards, the three card panels are mixed up by President. For instance, one panel contains Theodore Roosevelt/Thomas Jefferson/John Quincy Adams. Cards are blank-backed and unnumbered.
This lot of (7) PSA-Graded 1960 Bazooka Presidents range from PSA1(MK) to PSA3 VG. Some of the strips have had very light pencil marks or circles on them. This is, by far, the largest (and only) group of these cards we have offered. Detailed strip by strip condition notes are below.
