Man In Space was a promotional game issued by the Shell Oil Company in 1969. This was a collect-and-win game with instant winners. With each visit to a participating Shell station, customers received a free aluminum game 'coin' commemorating a U. S. manned space mission. Twenty-six different Man In Space coins were issued. The coins could be mounted on a game card (also free). If all the coins in a section of the game card could be collected, the player won the prize for that section.
Prizes included cash in the amounts of $1, $5, $50, $500 and $5,000. Players could also win a beautiful set of bronze space medals which came with a mounting board and an informative booklet about the space missions.
