Description
1991 Topps Desert Shield Baseball Unopened Wax Box With 36 Packs. In 1991, Topps was celebrating the 40th Anniversary of their first card promotions in 1951. At the same time our brave American sons and daughters in the military were called upon to free Kuwait from a ruthless dictator named Hussein. The first wave of this freedom effort was dubbed "Operation Desert Shield." With few things more All-American than baseball cards, Topps produced special "Desert Shield" cards that were a parallel to the standard '91 issue but featured a special gold-foil "Desert Shield" emblem. The reported production was less than 6,000 of each card, all intended for the soldiers serving overseas. No complete sets were ever issued by Topps. Inside could be a Mint or Gem MT card of any one of the great stars of the era like Griffey, Jr., Ripken, Thomas, Mattingly, Ryan, Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Johnson, Brett, Bonds, Henderson, Sandberg, Smith, Puckett, Gwynn, Boggs plus others and the rookie card of Chipper Jones. Box exhibits mild to moderate wear throughout. Authenticated and sealed by Steve Hart-Baseball Card Exchange.Auction Info
