My only significant buy of the weekend was a large box full of NASA space program stuff. I paid $20 for it at a yard sale.
I didn't take the time to dig through the entire box so I made the buy based on some unusual looking stuff I saw on top. I had hoped to find some patches or other unusual items but, as it turned out, the box was mostly newspapers and magazines.
Probably the most interesting thing was the stack of "Man on the Moon" trading cards. I have never seen these before. The guy I bought them from said they used to sell these in bubble gum packs like baseball cards. Apparently they were only sold for a couple of years right around the time of the first moon landing in 1969. I don't think these are super valuable but I have 81 of them with only 1 duplicate. Hard to tell what I might get for them but I am hoping for maybe $50 or so.
A couple of the individual magazines are interesting. One of the Newsweek mags dates back to 1959 with a front page devoted to research into weightlessness. One of the Life mags was published the week after the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969.
