I love that set. It's the first "pre-war" set I ever completed, but even that is an issue. Those were the only set of cards issued during the war (other than exhibits) so they aren't technically pre-war.

There were some other sets issued during the war, most aren't well known though...Here are a few Centennial Flour series cards. The top is '43 and the bottom is '44. They issued them in some other years too...

I'll clarify my point:
That was the only NATIONAL set issued during the war. Yes, there were minor league sets and a few regional sets, but other than exhibits, The MP&Co is about the only game in town for major league.
