The 1956 Topps Flags of the World set is an (80) card set picturing colorful flags of 80 different countries and territories of the world. The cards are colorful and picture the country flag and name in the foreground with interesting pictures from the economy of that country in the background arranged in a horizontal format. The backs of the cards contain the card number and some demographic facts about the country along with some English words translated in the native language. The set was a great instructional learning tool for the kids of the day.
Delightful lot of colorful cards with bold graphics and fun backs. A fabulous opportunity for a collector interested in developing a mid-grade set of this very popular series. Includes cards #2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,
