1963 Flag Midgee Cards — Pakistan/Ecuador/Lebanon Uncut Panel — PSA EX 5 (Cert #97403203)
Up for sale: a three-card uncut panel from the 1963 Flag Midgee Cards set, featuring Pakistan (card #67), Ecuador (card #24), and Lebanon (card #50), graded PSA EX 5. Certification number 97403203 is printed on the PSA label.
Condition: Graded PSA EX 5 (Excellent) — a mid-grade example consistent with typical wear for this small-format issue, which was often distributed and handled uncut in strips like this one. No qualifiers on the grade. Buyers should rely on the third-party grade rather than photos alone for fine detail.
The Flag Midgee set is a small-format, non-sport educational issue produced by T.C.G. in the early 1960s, pairing colorful national flag illustrations with brief country facts on the reverse. This panel is a nice geographic and historical cross-section: Pakistan, whose card notes the country was then split into two halves separated by India (Eastern Pakistan would later become Bangladesh in 1971); Ecuador, named for the Equator that crosses it and, per the card, the true home of the “Panama hat”; and Lebanon, an independent republic since the interwar period, with the card recounting the 1958 crisis when U.S. Marines briefly landed at President Chamoun’s request. Uncut multi-card panels like this are less commonly found intact than single separated cards, since most were cut apart by original owners.
