Rainbow Bread American History Trading Cards
More Rainbow Bread trading cards here. First 5 cards are from the A Great American series in 1976. There were 50 cards in the series. Here’s #1 Abigal Adams, #9 Davy Crockett, #27 Lewis & Clark Expedition, #36 William Penn, #48 Eli Whitney. A few interesting facts about Whitney. He began using interchangeable parts long before Henry Ford. Also, I’ve heard that he invented to cotton gin to alleviate the suffering of slaves, but the cotton gin ended up increasing the workload as plantation owners tried to get even more cotton to market. Another example of unintended consequences. Christian-Hansen is given the copyright credit, is that the artist?
The last three are from the Bicentennial Know Your American Presidents series (1976 of course), # 16 Abraham Lincoln, #18 Ulysses S Grant and #20 James A. Garfield. Copyright is given to Bel-Art Advertising Inc.

[...] Rainbow Bread American History Trading Cards [...]
I love history so these are really up my alley.
my dad left me some of the rainbow bread presidential cards could you tell me about what they are worth
i would like to know if ther is any valu in the us presidents cards
If by “value” you mean more than $1 a card, then I doubt it. If you mean cultural value, then yes, someone somewhere wants them.
I am interested in acquiring a set of the Rainbo Presidential Trading Cards from 1976. Our museum is in possession of the original paintings from which the playing cards were produced, but we do not have any of the cards
I have 2 James Monroe, Chester Arthur, and James Buchanan.
