We are happy to share some new info from ESP.
Anything that helps provide funding to the Australian War Memorial and is educational is certainly something I think is a worthy cause.
Centenary of World War 1 (CWW1) Trading Cards
ESP is planning to release a special set of trading cards on 7th August of this year, the set will commemorate the Centenary of Word War1 and Australia participation in the Great War.
The card set has been developed in conjunction with the Australian War Memorial, all royalty revenue will flow directly back to the War Memorial to help maintain and grow the collection as well as maintaining the remembrance cemetery’s around the world.
The first ever Trading Cards to featuring special issue Australia Post Stamps will also be included in the set, there are 10 stamp cards to collect with a further 45 cards to complete the inserts series.
The common set will consist of 160 Common Cards covering:
- Famous Battle

Collector albums and Starter Packs will be included.
All image and stats are provided by the Australian War Memorial from their extensive archives. Based on what I have seen so far the image selection and corresponding stats are phenomenal, the history and sheer emotion in some of the images is amazing so builds a wonderful 215 card set.
We are finalising the card template at the moment, once this has been done we will release a final draft of the sales flyer and a check list.
As always we are keen to hear collectors feedback.
