My recent drive to buy more vintage space memorabilia netted a nice set of Tom Thumb 'Exploration of Space' cards. Slightly wider than the usual cigarette versions, this set of 32 dates from the late seventies and has some classic photographs, such as the 'Blue Marble', but also some unusual shots of Sputnik 3, SkyLab and images from the Voyager missions. Due to the vagaries of the postal service, this set went walkabout for a few weeks after purchase and eventually came back to the seller, as the address on the envelope had been obscured. Luckily, a reposting brought them home safely yesterday.
They're nice.
