Monty gum cards

[hasford1978]

While I've been quite on the forum for a little while, I have spent the last year obsessing over a particular item of interest.
Monty gum cards. These were released in the Netherlands in 1983, also England, Germany and the US.
There were different sets released with different colours
Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
Grey
Orange

I have recently started collecting the yellow and red cards and just ordered a complete set of grey, in time i would like to get all of them. Does anyone on here also have these sets and maybe doubles because I'm interested if someone has any for individual sale?

I don't know what you are talking about. Do they have anything to do with THE A-TEAM? Like do they have photos of the team members or something?

I had to google them, but yes, apparently they do!

Yes Amyk these are actual trading cards from the tv series, a colour photo on each card depicting a scene from an episode or profile pictures of the actors etc, some of the sets are really hard to come by these days but if you typed in A Team Monty gum on Google some decent images should pop up?

Was there actually gum with these or are they just the trading cards?

I don't think there was any gum in these cards Amyk, just 4/5 cards per pack and the packs featured a cartoon image of BA

Ah, that makes sense. 'Cause I remember thinking, "Man, the only cards + gum packs I ever remember seeing only had sports cards" (baseball, football, etc.-- when I was a kid, it might've only been baseball). If I could have gum and A-Team cards... oh, man, lol. (Now. I wouldn't have cared back then since I didn't watch it.)
