The Topps Space Cards set is an 88 card set picturing interesting images of different space vehicles--some imaginary and some actual. The set also includes different types of rockets and pictures images of space travel that was sure to pique the curiosity of the kids of the late 1950's. Space exploration was in its infancy when this set was issued and it would culminate in the late 1960's with travel to the moon as the US and USSR had a space race going on in the 1950's and 1960's. The set was issued with blue backs as "Space Cards" and with pink backs as "Target Moon" in a (44) card skip-numbered set. Both sets are very popular with collectors--especially space card collectors.
This near set of (87/88) cards is missing only #2 to be complete. The set is in overall VG/VGEX with a couple worse and some better. Very nice set overall. All card fronts and a sample page of card backs have been scanned.
