Let us never forget America's greatest ally in the liberation of Iraq, France. I love you bro, let's never let anything come between us.

That's not the USS Long Beach at all. Good one, Topps.

What a great thread, can you tell the collectibles craze of the 90s was already going on.
If you want the full Original Desert Storm experience get the 1991 ebn remix of cnn coverage (featuring younger yet still old Wolf Blitzer and Elder Bush rocking us):

:piss: Another Powell/ Cheney card. :piss: Truly, I am blessed. :piss:




This card features an actual picture of God asking America (and to a lesser degree the other members of The Coalition for Peace) for help bringing Peace and Freedom to the Middle East because although He is the Almighty Creator of the Universe, he lacked the military might and tactical know-how of the United States. A lot of people don't know this happened, but it totally did.

Here is some more knowledge to shove into your brain, courtesy of the good people at Topps®

Holy crap. My parents just found a bunch of my old baseball cards in the attic and I had a stack of these in there. We had a card shop down the street from my childhood home and these things were probably 50 cents a pack, so I bought some for the fun of it and in hindsight it is the weirdest loving thing...

Awesome nostalgia, OP. I don't know if I got any trading cards, but I still have a medal, some patches, and some decks of Desert Shield / Desert Storm playing cards, courtesy of sitting in the bowels of the USS Saratoga and working on "The Agile F-14" during the war.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Great thread

I did manage to get one complete set (right side of picture), and 2 almost complete sets (in box).



I am going to stick a few of the extras in my bicycle spokes, and shellac the rest of them on to various antique farm equipment as a statement of my sexuality.

I only got one each of these two cards, and doubles (or more) of all of the others. Looking back of the pictures, these were both in Pack #6 in case anyone is keeping track.






Glad people enjoyed this as much as I did! Let me know if you want to see anything else close up. I'm going to read all of the backs and see if there is anything worth posting.
