MIG-21 Fishbed

The 1991 Pro-Set Desert Storm series stands as one of the most comprehensive military trading card collections ever produced, and card #227 showcases the legendary MIG-21 Fishbed—one of the most widely deployed fighter aircraft in history. This Near Mint example captures the card's crisp imagery and vivid detail of the Soviet-era jet that saw action across multiple theaters, including during the 1990-1991 Gulf War operations. Pro-Set's Desert Storm release became a cultural artifact of its era, blending military history with the trading card hobby. The MIG-21 Fishbed card is particularly sought after by military aviation enthusiasts and non-sports card collectors who focus on Cold War-era aircraft documentation. The series documented both American and adversary equipment with equal technical precision, making it valuable for collectors interested in military history alongside traditional card collecting. Near Mint condition cards from this set remain in strong demand, especially aircraft-focused cards that appeal to dual audiences—both card collectors and military history buffs. The 1991 Pro-Set Desert Storm series has aged well as a collectible, with well-preserved examples commanding collector attention. Whether building a complete Desert Storm set or focusing specifically on military aircraft cards, the MIG-21 Fishbed represents a key piece of early 1990s non-sports card history.
