1969 Primrose Confectionery Space Race # 43 Mars, Earth's Sister Planet (EX/NM)

In 1969, a series of 50 (Numbered 1-50) "cigar box" cards (they're usually classified as minis now), 2 2/3 x 1 1/2", devoted to Space was released by Primrose Confectionery in the UK. Tracking down cards in this set isn't particularly difficult nowadays but many of the cards on the trade market are graded which means that this can be an expensive set to put together. The artwork, with Silver Age design, is very striking on the front and the back of the card features a description of the action on the front. These cards came on a thinner paper stock, this general fragility helps to explain why you're more likely to find a graded card than not because so many are in bad shape.

This set is hardly mainstream and it'll take some digging to get much more information, but they are very lovely cards with an interesting source (all the images are native to this set), history, sizing, and they're international so it should appeal to collectors and general fans.
