The wrapper, in Space Alpha and Space Cosmo versions. The rear of the wrapper mentions the poster (see below), in Dutch, English, German and Belgian French (with one additional line for France). Only the English text mentions "Join the Space 1999-Club", with the German and Belgian French using "club" only in the address.
Space Alpha box and packet (1978 Netherlands version)
There was a special offer for poster if 10 packets are sent to Leiden in Holland.
The poster was 52 x 38 cm, titled "Space/Cosmo: 1999", with the same b/w photo of the Ring Around The Moon astronauts as on the back of the unnumbered card set.
It's the same image as card 49, but in black and white (and the correct way round). The image is also Sunicrust card #1
At least in the Netherlands a small album was available to hold the 64 cards. The plain white album had the black and white "Space/Alpha: 1999" logo and stylised Koenig/Helena/Bergman artwork on the cover. The cards were stored in a 2 x 4 arrangement (hence 8 pages). Pictures thanks to Remco Admiraal.
