Of late Ive been collecting anderson cards...I was amazed to discovered Barratts produced a series of Secret Service sweet cigarette cards (I always loved Barratts cards, infact the first thing I bought on decimalisation day back in 1971 with my two and a half NEW pence was a packet of UFO sweet cigarettes)

However what I'm wondering has there ever been a set of Terrahawks cards either in gum or sweet cigarettes ???

I'm not sure, CaheliumX, but I did recently find 4 packets of "Candy Sticks" that featured graphics from Thunderbirds 2004 on them. The odd thing is that Virgil and Gordon are mixed up on the boxes.

That's always the way of things isn't it?

Mind you, if it was something that nobody else in the world liked or wanted, then what would be the point collecting it for yourself?

Have a look at a few of the sets front and back images while listening to a bit of Barry Gray.

Stingray, Joe 90 and Thunderbirds so far

Pretty certain there wasn't at the time, at least in the UK, as it's the kind of thing I would have been after but perhaps you should ask these people to create a new one?:
