Desert Sheild questions

Were the Desert Shield cards also issued in a complete set? I found the photo below in an auction listing near me.
What type of price would such a set go for?

Thanks for your help,

    Probably not much.

    These aren't the 1991 Topps baseball cards with the foil stamp, these are the cards that were made as a kind of military collectable. Cards of tanks, ships, generals, events, etc.

    I have seen various boxes by different manufacturers sell for under $4 a box
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    As was said, those aren't the Topps DS cards you're thinking of - they're just Desert Storm/Shield cards issued at the time of the war.

    I really like the Topps Desert Shield/Storm set. I was able to get all three series plus stickers for a pretty good price. Usually the ones you see on Ebay are only series 1 or only series 1-2.
