The 50-card issue was distributed in one-cent and five-cent packs with
gum. The photos of chilling monsters came from 19 different episodes
of the ABC televisions series The Outer Limits (1963-1965), including
18 episodes from the first season. Like the TV series, the 1964 Topps
Outer Limits cards are more popular now than they were upon the initial
release.
