Details, please. What such effort was underway? Who was involved? Thanks!
HERE they are; I posted them over several years 2013 - 2018 during the Sesquicentennial and afterwards: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/civil-war-news.82748/I did a search, but didn't see them. But I won't bother to post anymore then. Thanks for the heads up...
Thanks. I'm afraid I went ahead and posted the full set too. Oh well, guess you can never have too many of those 1962 Topps Civil War News card images!HERE they are; I posted them over several years 2013 - 2018 during the Sesquicentennial and afterwards: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/civil-war-news.82748/
I wondered that myself.Just out of curiosity what is the asking price for a complete set of these cards? Can cards be purchased individually to complete a collection along with the few cards you may already have?

The same question came up back in 2013 when I posted my thread:I wondered that myself.
There were 4 complete sets sold on eBay in the month of May. Costs ranged from $261-$450. Price variation probably dependent on condition.
Interestingly...an original 1 cent wrapper (that the cards were sold in) was also sold in May. That went for $849.88.
I have really enjoyed your Civil War News series. What is the value of these cards today ?
I had the entire set as a young boy....it's what got me interested in the CW in the first place. I either lost it or it was stolen around the time we moved in 1963. About 5 years ago I bought the cards again, on EBay. A complete set of representative cards (not necessarily high quality specimens) runs about $600 IIRC. There was also a set of smaller cards issued for sale in the UK, same pictures and "news", but slightly less expensive to acquire now...
