Penguin and Superman Rainbow Bread Trading Cards
These Penguin and Superman DC Comics superhero and super-villain trading cards (with mini-comics on the back!) came out of loafs of Rainbow Bread back in the 1970s. My mom rarely bought Rainbow because it was too expensive. People have always thought times were hard. The only times she did buy name brand stuff was when we begged enough to get these kinds of goodies. You can see they are copyright 1974. I used to have 4 of them, but my siblings have probably absconded with some and they are now lost to the ages. EDIT: Big Glee says they came out of Wonder Bread. He has a couple pictures of different ones also.

I don’t really know too much about Rainbow Bread, should I? They have all these trading cards but I am not sure I know of many people who actually traded them (then or now)…
Those are so cool. Hope you’ve had a great weekend.
Jim,
You’ll find them on eBay, but I think you’re right, they weren’t heavily traded. One day though, there will be a sudden spike in interest and prices will go through the roof! At least, that’s how it works with so many other things.
I think they are very cool from a vintage, collectible perspective. Was just curious about the trading aspect, especially when they are first released. Thanks!
