Warning: Major geekiness here  ;D

In honor of Apollo 11th's recent 45th Anniversary, I figured I would share this deck for fun.

I don't have many novelty decks, but this one caught my eye as it matches another hobby quite well :)

They were purchased at a planetarium, but you can probably get them online too.

I wouldn't use them for cardistry as their handling is poor. The graphics are really high quality, though.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

A nice if cheaply-made deck.

A much better souvenir of the anniversary would have been a reprinting of the original Bicycle Nasa deck.  The center was overlaid with the NASA "meatball" logo and the paper used was fireproof in order to allow for using them in a spacecraft.

Cool vintage deck, but I can't imagine they're easy to find.
