Not sure if this link will work but last night a set (+ duplicates) of 1964 Outer Limits Canadian Trading cards sold at auction in Kingston Canada for $260.07(Cdn).  I am not even familiar with the show or movie but does show that non-sports cards does have some popularity.

Here is the link to the set in TCDB: https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/161525/1964-Topps-Outer-Limits-Canada

I'm thinking you're just a "little" too young as this was I believe before your time ('63-'65).. Being a "little" older I vaguely remember the show though that's been awhile. It dealt with sci-fi (for what it was in the '60's) kind of along the lines of  "The Twilight Zone".

Also , if you are a sci-fi fan and want to take a trip back the original series can be found on the internet (obviously) and it's fun to see how the "envisioned" computers, etc and the future...

Yes, I was less than 2 years old when the cards were issued.  I am sure Chuck will remember them but he is still sleeping.  

I thought he was closer to you in age but I might be off by a few years. Also I found a site where you can watch the original series and they quite "typical '60's sci-fi" for sure but mildly entertaining just the same. (If you are into that sort of program.)

Just poking the bear.  And no, sci-fi is not my thing. Just posted about this set because we don't often see these. For less than $50, I would have bought them but not for what they went for.

Love that show. I have the complete series on DVD.

It's available on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Would you have paid $200 US fo rthe set +?

No.  Plus I have trouble relating the cards to the show. The show was in black & white and the cards are in color.  That causes a disconnect in my brain.

Good thing the "Phsychedelic-'60's" gave us all those colors or we'd likely still be in black and white TV... Watched an episode this morning which was called oddly enough "The Brain of Colonel Barham" which featured some incredible computer imaging in its day.

I remember one episode as I preferred The Twilight Zone, even though they didn't compete for airtime. It was about a blob that attacked your face and aged you.
