1951 Bowman Jets, Rockets, Spacemen

The 1951 “Jets, Rockets and Spacemen” set was printed by Bowman Gum Company and consists of 108 cards, each one measuring 2-1/16" x 3-1/8". The complete set was originally released in three groups of 36 cards each. The set features incredible science fiction artwork illustrations of space travel – a reality that was still more a decade away at the time of its release. The bright and beautifully colored cards depict futuristic scenes of space adventure and exploration. It is anchored by such imaginative titles as Polar Cats Invade Runways (#58), On Saturn (#62), Navigating a Planetoid Belt (#65), End of a Spaceship (#66), and Captured by Space Pirates (#66). This issue is one of the most popular of all non-sport issues with the middle series being slightly more difficult to obtain.
