Lot # 2919: 1950 Topps "Freedom's War" SGC-Graded Collection (82)

Substantial collection of eighty-two 1950 Topps "Freedom's War" trading cards, each graded and encapsulated by SGC. One of the most comprehensive sets of military cards ever produced, the "Freedom's War" set includes Korean War scenes, combat training, military insignia, weapons, medals, generals, airplanes, ships, and even a set of die-cut tanks (not included in this lot) that could be made into stand-up toys. Topps used multicolored artwork and photographs in the production of the set, which was distributed in three printings over a two-year period that began in Summer 1950. This collection includes three duplicates (#132, 142, and 152) and primarily consists of gray-back variations, but does include five tan-backs (#128, 129, 133, 144, and 149). Also included are both back variations for #137 and 168. SGC Grading Composite: NM/MT 88 (4 cards): #104, 111, 140, and 187. NM+ 86 (3 cards): #137 (gray), 153, and 159.
