One of Topp's early offerings and one of their larger early sets, the 1950 Freedom's War set was (203) cards picturing scenes of the Korean War. The set was apparently issued over a two year period in different series with cards found in either two card panels or single cards in packs. The two card panels were issued in cello and boxed packs and the single cards in one and five cent packages. The first group of cards through card #72 were created using artwork with cards #73-#96 feature Army Photos. Cards #97-#103 were the tank cards--found either die cut or uncut. Cards #104-#127 feature photographs, Cards #128-#177 feature artwork with the rest featuring Army Photos.
The final series mostly picture patches of individual army divisions but also feature photo cards of Patton, Jimmy Doolittle, George Marshall, Dwight D Eisenhower and Omar Bradley among others.
This lot of (5) 1950 Topps Freedom's War panel's of 2 cards have been graded by PSA and include the following subjects: #58/62 (PSA5 EX), #66/69 (PSA7 NM OC), #109/110 (PSAS3 VG), #146/147 (PSA6 EX-MT MC) and #181/182 (PSA1 Poor MC). Great lot for the set builder of these tough panels.
