The lot also includes uncut sheets of vintage 1963 Topps trading card wrappers for the 'Astronaut Pictures' and 'Baseball Picture Cards' series, originally designed to hold gum and trading cards for 5 cents. The 'Astronaut Pictures' set featured 55 cards depicting Mercury 7 astronauts, their training, and flights, with wrappers advertising a '3-D Viewer' in each pack. The baseball wrappers highlight 'Giant Size' cards. The wrappers display text indicating the manufacturer as Topps Chewing Gum, Inc., based in Brooklyn, N.Y. Dimensions are 40 inches high and 26 inches wide. Notable damage includes a tear in the center of one box cover.
