“ I hope he wore that bow tie when he ate his 3-D fried egg on Mercury. ” -switzr1

“ Normally I don't trust a guy with a bow tie but John Glenn is a total badass. Went into space at 77 years old as a member of the U.S. Senate. You got my vote pal. ” -Id8jlb8666

“ Cool! I've been a fan of space exploration for my whole life- probably due to my love of Star Wars- my first memory of anything in life is watching Empire Strikes Back. I need to find some of these cards for my collection. I like how Topps used a continuation design for it's 1969 Man on the Moon series, of which I just got my first two cards of in December. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ The back makes the card for me. Fry an egg on Mercury. Made my day! ” -JimStaub
