FAQs

Atlas Editions U.S. Civil War Cards were released between 1993 and 1995 through mail subscription only and have been out-of-print since 1996 (the cards are all copyright 1993, 1994 or 1995 but subscriptions were still available in 1996 as well). This card set is printed on beautiful glossy card stock and most pictures are in black and white (naturally) but some pictures are full-color, like pictures of uniforms or weapons from museums. This is by far the most extensive card set on the U.S. Civil War ever made, the back of each card has a write-up about the person, place or event on the front.

These cards were delivered to buyers in "decks" or packets sent every week or few weeks. The buyer could then remit payment which would continue the subscription. These cards were never sold as a complete set or at retail, the only way to accumulate some or all of these cards was to subscribe from Atlas between 1993 and 1996. There are 118 decks with 20 cards per deck for a total of 2,360 cards. The subscription included Blue and Grey cardboard boxes for storage (it would take nearly 3 full boxes to make a complete set, so if someone is selling one box or 2 as a set, it is not likely to be complete). The introductory package included a Confederate 500$ bill, 20 divider cards and the first box for storage. Also included in this set are 12 Civil War Battlefield Maps which fold-out and provide additional information and the intro package included a User Manual pamphlet as well.

The cards are all Copyright 1993, 1994 or 1995 Atlas Editions, USA and are Printed in the USA. They measure approximtaley 5.5 x 5.5 inches each (14 x 14cm) The cards are all numbered by deck and card on the back and all cards include the Atlas set pre-code number D3 602 before each card number. So, the card numbers would read like this:

D3 602 dd-cc (dd-Deck number 01 to 188 and cc=Card number in each deck 01 to 20).
