Freedom's War
   Topps - 1950

Notes: This series commemorates the (then ongoing) United Nations peace action 
in Korea. Cards are also numbered within subsets, which are shown below for each 
card because the subsets were not always sequential. American Card Catalog 
reference is R709-2. Scans are posted at the Vintage Non-Sports Cards gallery.

It was printed in three waves with variations that are sometimes important to collectors.:
-- Cards 1-96 and 104-203 had tan (waves 1-2) or gray (wave 3) backs.
-- Tank cards 97-103 were solid cards or had die-cuts, are scarce, and all have tan backs.
-- Wave 1 tan-back cards 1-96 did not have captions on fronts, while Wave 2 did.
-- All waves had smooth-edge cards or cards from panels with perforation nubs.
