EVENLY MATCHED
As I am always on the look out for new space themed card sets, I came across this unusual set of Matchbox covers from Germany. The full set consists of 32 small paper labels, with a comemmorative space themed image. They are difficult to date, but would probably be around the late sixties to early seventies, judging by the craft depicted. Its interesting to see the amount of Eastern Bloc craft shown here, with several Cosmos series soviet probes in attendance.
