Flags of All Nations - Soldiers of the World
   Topps - 1949

Notes: These 7/8" x 1-7/16" cards are double-sided, with flags on canvas fronts and 
color illustrations of soldiers on glossy backs. Cards aren't numbered, but each card 
corresponds to an entry in the 1950 "Parade: Flags of All Nations" series, which 
was a reconfiguration of the material; card "numbers" are often assigned based on 
that set's numbering; these are shown below. No set or manufacturer is shown, only 
"Litho. in U.S.A." on card backs. The series if often referenced merely as "Flags" 
but this makes it easy to confuse the cards with those of other series.

American Card Catalog reference is R714-7. Scans are posted at the Vintage 
Non-Sports Cards gallery.
