I found a box of Topps® Desert Storm: Coalition for Peace trading cards/ stickers from 1991.
These are apparently the 2nd, or "Victory" series. The box says they are to sell for 50˘ per pack, but that was way back in 1991. It would seem that Operation: Desert Storm™ heralded the dawn of a new and prosperous golden age for the United States marked by freedom, economic prosperity, and massive currency deflation. I base that assertion on the FACT that I bought these recently for a mere 10˘ per pack, or $3.60 for the box of 36.
36 packs x 8 cards/ 1 sticker per pack = 288 cards/ 36 stickers. According to the World Wide Web (aka "The Information Superhighway"), the Desert Storm: Coalition for Peace: Victory Series© contains 88 cards and 11 stickers. Will I be able to make a complete set? I don't know, but I'm going to find out. And if we aren't careful, we just might learn a thing or two along the way.
Pack #1
Ooh, I got the valuable Colin Powell/ Dick Cheney card!
And a Saudi Arabia sticker! That almost makes up for the fact that these packs of trading cards feature stickers instead of delicious Topps® bubblegum.
Wow, things are lookin' good so far, and I'm only on the first pack! Thirty-five to go. What other gems will I uncover from within these 27-year old wax wrappers?
Stay tuned to find out....
I have a pack of Horsin' Around trading cards somewhere in my apartment.
