Description :

Yes, we have some Space Shots here...the rather infamous production of Ed White's son/Space Ventures that never produced the promised scholarships nor repayment of copious loans from astronauts Cernan, Lovell, & Collins amongst others (thus the refusal of many astronauts to autograph them). This was despite selling out rather quickly when they were first produced in the 1990s and going through 4 series of them! Cards measure approx. 3.5" H x 2.5" W.

Top Row/Group #1: These cards are from the first series; a complete set would be all 110 cards. We have 97 of them.* Definitely a good reminder that all venues - even the space program - has its grifters, too. 

* we are missing the following cards: #7, #15, #36, #37, #55, #58, #59, #72, #73, #80, #95, #99, & #103.

Middle Row/Group #2: These cards are also from the first series - they are multiples duplicates of those included in group #1 and number over 100 cards.

Bottom Row/Group #3: This is the special edition Space Shots series called "Moon Mars". This set is fully complete with all 36 cards, These cards are measurably thicker than the regular Space Shots cards.
