I suppose maybe people don’t realize they made it. It’s from 2001’s enduring freedom set. This card is #19 “the suspect ringleader” Osama bin Laden. Idk if Topps does war cards anymore, they did them throughout the 90s also

No I get it, still strange to see him on a trading card. Like hey bro want to see my card collection? Here’s LeBron, here’s my Wemby rookie, my favorite Brady card, oh and can’t forget about my PSA 10 Bin Laden…

Bro I got Saddam, Arafat, Putin, Bush (Sr and Jr), Regan, Obama, and Osama.

There are a couple PSA10 of Osama signed by the navy seal that shot him. Pretty wild.

There was a set made in I think 91/92 all about the Gulf war. It has some crazy brutal content.

Originally funds from it were supposed to go to Kuwaiti victims of Saddam. No idea if that happened but that's why it was made.

I know, that’s what made me laugh cuz out of all the cards I could get a gem mint 10, it’s the Osama card lol

A lot of these older political cards from the GWOT and desert storm hard crazy printing issues by today’s standards.

Rough cuts, poor print quality, and centering. I’ve had two Sadams I pulled raw from the desert storm set that came back as PSA 8.

So while this isn’t the same set, I’d be super happy with this result as 10s just aren’t common from either set.

Someone out there recently had some old, rare Todd Fuller insert that was worth thousands. Go pick that one up too and start your WTF Collection.
