Card Identification Forum

Am I missing something or are these cards not in the database yet?  I have this set here - Card, Trading, STS-84 Mission | National Air and Space Museum    It also looks like there are many more sets per Mission.  NASA UNITED SPACE ALLIANCE SHUTTLE MISSION CARDS SETS | #15985289 (worthpoint.com)   Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Don't see any listed. Could be because no checklists available. If you have a set then you have that checklist at least.

Not sure, I don't think so. The only thing I can tell from your links is their size is a little larger than standard trading card (the first link says they are 4 1/4 x 3 1/8 x 1/4 in.)

To me they seem like souvenir shop cards, which sometimes can be maddening in finding information about their manufacturing history. When were they first made? Often souvenir sets are made over a period of several years with very little or no variation from year to year.. There seems to be an entire series of Space Shuttle Missions card sets. According to your second link the sets are 10 cards each with at least 11 different sets. I forget how many Space Shuttle Missions there were but there could be at least a set for each individual mission.

Long story short someone somewhere would need to dig up more information about the set to include it in the database. If you are not aware of how sets are included in the Database one of the essential needs for a set to be included is the ability to have the full checklist of the set. There are very few exceptions of individual cards included in the database. Also knowledge of how the cards were distributed and manufactured.

The card size is the same as a standard card. Each card has a title to it but no checklist. The back of the header card is a plug for the United Space Alliance website.  That company has pretty much been overshadowed by Space X now since the shuttle program was shut down.  I live near the Cape Canaveral area.  I can do some research into the cards maybe through a PR rep (if they even have one now)?  Probably wouldn't hurt to get in touch with NASA's gift shop at the Kennedy Space Center for info on cards they have available. I know they used to sell Spaceshot cards in the early 90's. 

MotownMike, USA shut down thats why there was all them layoffs awhile back.  Theres only space X, blue origin and ULA out there now. I live on Merritt Island right next to the space center too. As for the cards i can ask around my father in law worked at USA for 30 years, see if he knows anything about them.

So supposedly they was a joint project with NASA and United Space Alliance (USA) in 1996 to 1999. The first cards started with "USA Space Day 1996" and the first shuttle mission was STS-76.
