The 1969 Topps Man on the Moon set pictures scenes from the space race. The set was issued in (55) and (99) card sets during 1970.
In 1969, Topps issued a 55-card set to commemorate the first manned landing on the
moon. The fronts feature glorious color photos of the US space program, with the backs serving
as pieces to several puzzles. Mysteriously, they segmented the series into two sub-series,
numbered 1A through 35A and 36B through 55B. This complete set also contains three printing
errors, on cards #36B, 44B and 45B, each of which have incorrect backs. This yields a total of 58
cards. This set is overall quite a high grade, with many NM cards (a few lesser), and above-
average centering. Two graded cards are included, #12A (PSA-8.5) and #24A (PSA-8).
Impressively mounted in Cardsaver 1 plastic holders displayed in plastic pages inside a sturdy
looseleaf binder. Absolutely gorgeous!
Originating in the collection of a very advanced PSA collector, this set and a number of others in the auction are high mid-grade sets mostly free of creases and individually sleeved in semi-rigids housed in 4 pocket pages in binders. As with this set, many of the sets are mostly ungraded with some nice or key cards graded as noted.
