Topps Desert Storm: Series 2 - Victory Series
Topps Trading Cards' second issue of cards which chronicled the Gulf War of 1991 was called simply Topps Desert Storm - Series 2: Victory Series. The actual battles lasted less than a week but it was less well defined as to when "victory" was achieved. Was it when the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard began to leave Kuwait? Topps continued it's reporting, with even more soldiers and machines used by the Coalition during this crisis.
The second and third series of cards also contained stickers, but was limited to 11 in each. As with the first series of stickers, the backs of the sticker holders created a vivid Gulf War scene when arranged correctly.

Several companies previously known for producing baseball trading cards saw the historic events unfolding in 1991, soon to be known as "The Gulf War," as an opportunity to document the action via their own unique media. Thus were born the Desert Storm Cards and one of the first sets to appear was from Topps, with three series of cards.
Although the cards from Topps were the only ones to include stickers, each competing manufacturer's set displays a unique quality. Check out the way each company chooses to describe the action and decides upon what picture is worthy. Eventually, you'll want to collect and enjoy them all!
