Thanks for sharing! One of these days I am going to have to start on this set. Do you have pictures of these?

Hello to All ,

Hi gregmo32 , go for it . I've only collected Horrors since April (after completing my Civil War News) and i must admit it's a great set .
The cards are colorful , informative and some are downright gory .

I haven't any pics of the sub (on a plane someplace) but heres a pic of 1 of the ' gory ' cards .

Congratulations on the grades Mark:

Gregmo, I have scans up of over 220 cards from the HOW set, on my Registry set (Under the name WarhoundR69).

Check them out if you want to see what the cards from this set look like.

gregmo32

Yeah, I love them. And I really like the artistic depictions of the history of world violence. You would think we would have figured it out by now...

One day, I will jump into this set!

Hello to All ,

Hi Gregmo ,

Theres lots i like about the HOW's , the use of colour the style of drawing , the text , it's cataloging of different conflicts , the generel feel of the cards ..it's a great set .

I'm sure you'll have some fun when you take the plunge . Enjoy .

The trouble with collecting this set is that it's so freakin' huge. Unless you just get the cards you really like, completing the whole thing would be awfully expensive.

WarHoundR69

It's well worth the effort to collect Horrors of War. I started the set 4 years ago & I'm down to 23 cards to finish it.

By the time I'm done I'll have spent about 6K for a VG/EX set. If you want cards in higher grades the cost escalates exponentially.

If I sold my cards today, I would probably make a profit.

My only advice would be to pick up Nos. 1, 88, 99, 240 & 277 to 288 first. Those are the most in demand & highest priced cards.

Hell to All ,

Hi heinlein99 ,

The trouble with collecting this set is that it's so freakin' huge

If that puts you off maybe card collecting ain't for you .
