Hi There,in the late 1950's as a school kid in London I collected a series of 50 cards from Brooke Bond tea packets entitled " Out Into Space ".You could buy an album from your grocer for 6d to put them in, and we would play against each other at school to get the ones you didn't have.Thirty years later I was passing a shop in Exeter in South Devon, and in the window for sale was a picture frame with all the cards carefully mounted and displayed,with a glass frame on the back so you could still read all the info on the stars and planets----I think it cost 35 pounds, and of course I bought it and still have it today.
