I still have my deck of 52 most wanted from Iraq...I think they are stashed away in one of the grenade boxes I mailed home.

Closest to that is the Saddam dollar I had...think it's in my ex wife's coin collection now. My oldest will eventually get it anyway.

You need another? I think I still have a grenade box full of paper currency. At the time of the invasion, civilians would offer it by the fistful for the tea-bag or instant coffee from an MRE, knowing it had become worthless overnight. I never came across any coins though.

I too collect ephemera and have a Cold War aircrew pamphlet of silhouettes of both Allied and Warsaw Pact aircraft and ships from 1973.

I don't collect these types of artifacts, but picking up old military stuff is an addiction and sometimes I just don't think things through LOL. If a contributing member is a true collector I would be willing to part with them.

I remember those cards. We had them all over the place in my unit. I don't think I ever actually kept a set. I do have the Iraq most wanted somewhere. I have a box full of stuff from Saudi Arabia. I have some East German stuff removed from their vehicles which were Germany's contribution to the war effort. Haven't seen that stuff in a while as it's up in the attic somewhere. I have some Desert Storm Topps Baseball cards. Those were like gold. We each got 7 or 8 of them. I don't have any good ones but they are still worth about $5 each for commons. It was the standard BB card set with a gold Desert Storm embossed palm tree on them.
