2004 Upper Deck : The History of the United States Trading Cards
The History of the United States Trading Cards series was released in
2004 by The Upper Deck Company. The 300-card base series chronicles America
from early indigenous cultures to the modern era. The series was sold in hobby
boxes and complete 300-card factory base sets. Each hobby box contains 18 packs with 10 cards per pack.
The odds of finding a "Famous Americans" insert card are approximately 1:5 packs. The ten-card subset includes a NASA photograph of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong from January 9, 1969.
Upon descending the steps of the Apollo 11 lunar module (the Eagle) and
becoming the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, Armstrong
uttered the renowned words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap
for mankind." Served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War and as a civilian test pilot
for NASA. Went into the astronaut program in 1962. He was the pilot for Gemini 8,
which performed the first docking of two space vehicles.
