“ I'd avoid injury doing a flip, and landing awkwardly on the floor, but would end up cracking my skull from drifting up into the ceiling. DOH! ” -CollectingAfterDeath

“ Awesome. I want to do gymnastics on the Moon! ” -cjjt

“ Nice vintage Non-Sport card that almost looks like a sports card. ” -captkirk42

“ This would be an amazing card as a kid for me because I was into the difference in weight and gravity on other planets/moons. In 4th grade we did the calculations of how much we would weigh on each planet and our moon and how it would affect our bodies. This card fascinates me 100%! ” -cardcollector65jw

“ In 1957, only one house in my town could afford a color TV (not my house). Disney's Wonderful World of Color did not start broadcasting until 1961. So, it was a treat when Topps capitalized on the excitement of the space race and issued these Space Cards featuring full color illustrations of what space travel would be like. ” -IronButt

“ Any card older than me I find cool! There is no exception here! I'd be all over this set! ” -bkklaos

I don't really care for the image on the front of the card, but I'd love to have ANY cards from this set. Not only are they older than me, but they also involve outer space. That checks 3 boxes for me and my collection: cards, vintage, astronomy. If anyone has any cards from this set, LMK b/c I am interested in them. I really like the back of the card though. Yet another astronomy-based set for me to try to hunt down now.

EDIT: I went to add these to my Wantlist, but they were already on there. So I knew about these at some point and completely forgot that they were already on the wantlist. laugh

A funky vintage non-sport card/set.
