I found out that there were a total of 13 Freedomland postcards of the Hallmark type. There were also some photographic postcards (see the Gallery pages). Here are the ones I've picked up so far. I've also found what was listed as a set of "Twelve colorful scenes from Freedomland" .. but based on the number printed on the back.. something doesn't add up.
Here are the postcards - and what's on the back as well as the number in the series:
