Back when he was alive you could send your Colin Powell trading card to him and he would sign it and send it back. I think the only major Desert Storm personality left is Dick Cheney, and he'll never die obviously.

I have some Desert Storm Pro set cards if OP wants me to post them.

awesome cards though. kinda forget how long ago desert storm was. the difference in how things are 'advertised' on these cards is weird. feels ancient.

also sidenote, might just be me, but the fullsize cards take up my entire screen and make it hard to actually browse. if that's not an issue for anyone else, cool. but if it is might wanna timg them all?

Here is card #112



Here is card #172



Ok so going forward all packs in this set will have duplicate stickers and most cards will be duplicates. Instead of listing them I will just say if a pack is all dupes and post the new cards.

Card Pack #18
Has 6 dupes and 2 new

Card #118 "A-10 Warthog"



Card #111 "F-4 Phantom"



Card Pack #19
Is all dupes

Card Pack #20
Only 4 cards and all dupes

Card Pack #21
1 new the rest dupes
Card #160 "Lt. Gen. Kelly"



Card Pack #22
All cards are dupes

At this point I've checked to see if we are missing any cards. We are still looking for one more card. #115 is missing! We still have 14 packs to find it.

Card Pack #23
All dupes

Card Pack #24
1 new card and the last for the set.



So that is it! We completed the set and still have 12 packs left. All will be dupes so I will just toss them out unopened.

Sometime next week I will start the Box of Series 3 of the Desert Storm Topps card set.
