The Topps Astronauts set is a (55) card set picturing astronauts from the different space missions of NASA. The cards were issued in 1963 which was right in the crossover period between the Mercury Program and the Apollo Program. The card pictures and names many of the famous early astronauts like John Glenn, Schirra, Cooper, Slayton and Carpenter. The final card in the set is the checklist. As with all checklists, many were used for their intended purpose of checking off cards as they were collected, so few clean checklists survive.
This lot is for a single 1963 Topps Astronauts checklist that has not been checked and is in very clean VGEX condition. This card is consistently off-centered and this example is no exception.
