In 1953, Rice Chex cereal inserted Space Patrol cards into boxes of their cereal. The set totals (40) cards. The artwork was interesting and reminiscent of the Jets, Rockets and Spaceman issue from Bowman. Space was all the rage in the early 1950's and manufacturers sought to capitalize on the interest of young children as the space race began.
This lot of (6) F280-3 Rice Chex Space Patrol cards have all been graded by PSA and include the following subjects: Cadet Happy (PSA3 VG), Desert of Mars (PSA5 EX), Mars (PSA4 VGEX), Rocket Over the Moon (PSA5 EX), Saturn (PSA6 EX-MT) and Surface of Mercury (PSA6 EX-MT). Great lot for the set builder of this popular space set.
