A checklist built around space history

The maker describes a 200-card checklist with an 85-card base selection. Astronaut subjects include Armstrong, Sally Ride, Roger B. Chaffee, Gus Grissom and Ed White, while presidents associated with the space race appear alongside astronomers and physicists from Aristotle through Einstein and Hubble.

Five Milestone cards mark Copernicus in 1514, Galileo in 1609, Newton in 1687, Lemaître in 1927 and Armstrong’s moon landing in 1969. These are the manufacturer’s milestone labels, giving the base program a sequence of dated events alongside its portraits and cosmic imagery.

Relics, signature designs and inserts

The promotional image shows astronaut relic and Laser Signagraph layouts. The separately listed Armstrong cut autograph is a distinct 1/1 chase; the signature-style graphics on other preview designs do not establish that those cards contain Armstrong’s original ink.

Relic formats include Single, SPACE Cutout, Dual and Laser Signapatch designs. Ovalocity die cuts, Astro Vision, Black Hole, Moonwalker and Space Dust join The Cosmos and Mangafied short-print themes. Gemstone inserts and 1/1 art sketches add other material and artwork categories.

The numbered programs differ by family

Base cards include Lava Foil, Silver /150, Red /50, Blue /25, Gold /10 and Black 1/1. The Cosmos and Mangafied ladder begins with base and Lava Foil before Blue /25, Gold /10 and Black 1/1; it does not advertise the same /150 and /50 tiers as the base program. The two-hit box guarantee leaves the particular hit type to the enclosed cards.
