1977 Bimbo : Los Records del Mundo
Los Records del Mundo was published in 1977 by Editorial Miñón S. A. of
Madrid. The 150-card collection showcases people, animals, and technological
feats from the Guinness Book of Records. One card was included with
dessert snacks from Bimbo, S.A. in Spain including Bony, Bucaneros, Tigerton,
Tunos, and Mi Merienda. The card text descriptions are printed in Spanish.
Each card is copyrighted 1977 by Guinness Superlatives Ltd.
Gemini 4 astronaut Edward White II appears on Card #56. White is erroneously referred to as the first man to have "flown" in space. On June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first American and second person to perform an EVA in space.
Card #57, "The highest altitude achieved by man in space," describes the lunar orbit of Apollo 13. The card photograph erroneously depicts the crew
of Skylab 4, the third crewed mission to the Skylab orbital station. On,
November 16, 1973, Commander Gerald P. Carr, Edward Gibson, and William R.
Pogue launched aboard Apollo CSM-118 on a Saturn IB rocket.
Also included is the Soviet Vostok-K 8K72K rocket on card #52 and the recovery of the Apollo 8 Command Module (CM-103) on card #147.
