Pro Set Desert Storm Trading Cards Box

amazing card pulls, got the George HW Bush and Saddam Hussein rookie cards

I buy these for Christmas gifts every year, people love them

GREAT COLLECTORS' ITEMS. GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN

Received these cards on time in a large padded envelope from Amazon. The box itself was bowed inwards and crinkled a little bit. I am unsure if this was due to the handling during shipping or the fact that they are 30 years old. The inside of the box smelled a little musty and had some water stains -- probably from humidity. The wax packs were sealed and intact. I was concerned that the cards would be bent due to the wear and tear to the box. Some of the cards do have some slight bowing BUT none of them had bent corners or indented surfaces. Once these cards are stored properly, I am sure the bend will come out and they'll lay flat. The majority of the cards are pristine looking. As for the cards themselves, I love them. We've all become accustomed to high-definition digital photographs and these, well, are not. They'll take you back in time. I was 7 years old when Desert Storm went down and it is fun to see familiar faces and read about their career prior to 2002 when I became "woke" to geopolitical affairs. I forgot all about Thatcher, for instance. That wench was hot. Drop a dime on this set. It's worth it if you're a nerd like me.

Son collected these when he was about 10. Got them for his son and they have had fun talking about the cards. Still fun to see. Great conditions

Super fun just to have even if they aren’t worth something they are a cool price of history to look at and learn.

There's information on the back of each card that tell lots of different information about the war. -Airplanes -Helicopters -Tanks -Military branches -Religions -Countries that were involved -Military leaders -World leaders And lots of other interesting facts! I enjoyed looking at the cards and learning about Desert Storm, even though my main reason for getting them, was to try and get some of them autographed. Unfortunately, some of the main people have died, are in prison, or are getting up there in age. I was able to get my General Colin Powell card autographed so that was pretty cool.

This was a product I remember seeing at the gas station when I was growing up. We sold a war through bubble gum cards. Ok, there was no bubble gum, but an interesting propaganda tool to sell an American war in the wake of Vietnam. As an American history teacher and an enthusiast of pop culture and military life, I was deeply interested. A student bought me a boxed set he found at a sale. Now, that set is on display in my classroom, and the set I purchased I opened up to see if I could make a complete set. They are a unique piece of American history.
