Going for it, 1957 Target Moon

I have decided to send my 88 card set of 1957 Target Moon cards in for grading. I figure it should grade out at 7.00-7.33 Depending on how hard i get hit for some that have centering issues.

With the 5.00 charge it has become feasable for me.


I also have a few Israel cards, a canadian card and 2 1958 salmon backs that I may send in as well.

Wish me luck!

Good for you.

    Target Moon is a great set (here's a scan of a couple of the cards). In fact, I think the non sport sets tend to be nicer looking than any (or at least most) of the post-war sports set. I think a dead mint Flags of the World set, for instance, would present better than any baseball set with the exception of '52 and '53 BC.

    I sent in a hundred at the beginning of the month and I've got another couple hundred or so that I'm putting together now.

    Centering is an issue with those Target Moon cards, but the special sure makes it worthwhile.

    I remember collecting these cards back in '58 and they all had blue backs - there are so many different claims about the salmon backs, but The Wrapper recently ran an article that showed the salmon back cards as part of a "fun packs" issue in '68, along with Who Am I cards and some other set that I forget at the moment. It'll be interesting to see what the flips say on the salmon backs, regardless of what you send them in as.

    edited to clarify - the cards I'm sending in are not Space/Target Moon cards; I was just commenting on this frickin' incredible special.image

    Funny you mention that I also heard long ago the the salmon backs came out much later. I heard 1964.
