"The World's Greatest Victories" insert cards are found in approximately 1:24 hobby and retail blaster packs. The 20-card subset includes a photograph of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong on the Moon with the Lunar Module Eagle.

"Man walks on the Moon: History has borne witness to many great accomplishments, but perhaps none is quite so astounding as the landing of the first manned craft on the moon. The culmination of the tireless efforts of countless people, the touchdown of Apollo 11's Eagle Lunar Module on July 20, 1969, for many people redefined their expectations of what could be accomplished. The Apollo program would bring men to the Moon five more times before being shut down after Apollo 17, but its mark in the annals of human achievement will endure for all time."
