In 1962 Topps issued an 88 card set titled Civil War News. The set pictures all the battles and characters of the U.S. Civil War which was fought between 1861 and 1865. The series proved very popular and employed fantastic, colorful artwork. A large find of unopened cello packages in the 1980's were opened and complete, high grade sets were disseminated into the hobby.
In addition to the U.S. Civil War News issue, A&B.C. company of the UK issued both an English and a French language set of the same cards in a slightly smaller format and another set in Spanish language was issued in Spain with the "Topps" name on it. The Spanish set is particularly difficult to find as is the French A&B.C. set.
This complete set of (88) cards from the 1960's French language Civil War News set from the A&B.C. company is largely in EXMT to NRMT condition with a few lesser and some a few have some centering issues. All cards have been scanned for close format viewing. The checklist card is in about VG condition but unchecked.
