Many people believe the 1951 Bowman Jets, Rockets and Spacemen set to be one of the visionary sets of the early 1950's. The artwork is unparalleled and the subject matter was that of dreams for many a small child opening the packs in 1951. The set was ahead of it's time and one of the earliest space sets to be issued on a mainstream card set.
In 1980, James Trevor and Paul Koch printed this 36 card set from art that was discovered but never printed for the planned 5th series of "Jets, Rockets, Spacemen". Most of the art was complete but a few were just in the pencil layout stages. (The text for the 4th series was also discovered but not the artwork.) The cards were reproduced as closely to the original series as was possible.
This complete 1951 Bowman Jets, Rockets and Spacemen extension set is in EXMT to NRMT and like new condition.
