Presented is a 200-card complete set of R707-4 Topps "Wings" cards from 1952-53. The year these collectibles were issued, Topps took the gum card market by storm, in part by offering large-sized cards featuring an ideal theme for the Cold War era. Topps' Wings cards deliver color illustrations of the world's aircraft, along with diagrams on the backs that taught young consumers how to be patriotic "plane spotters." The aviation-themed treasures are infrequently offered as a complete set, and they exude the same nostalgic appeal as their baseball counterparts from the period. Condition range is generally VG to EX (some lesser).
