In 1983, the Japanese noodle company Myojo "明星" affixed one メカ card (Meka, or Mechanical in English) out of 9 different series to the top of a bowl of their instant noodles. These cards depict a mechanical transportation object and each series has 30 cards in it. Talk about odd-ball as these cards capture some pretty cool old photos. The Star Wars Series cards are by far the most expensive and cards can be upwards of close to $30 or more depending on condition. The other series are a lot cheaper and down around the $5 per card range or even less. These meka cards in general are somewhat difficult to find with the Classic Car series being the easiest and the Space Machines, Jets, and Dream Cars series being the most difficult to find. Each of the cards measures 2.25" x 3.5" and are printed on think paper stock. I pick them up whenever I can, but as far as I can tell there is no known checklist for any of the series besides the Star War Series. Below are some examples of the World Classic Cars and World Steam Locomotives that I recently picked up. Does any collect any of the Star Wars cards from this series?
Series #1: World Steam Locomotives
Series #2: World Racing Cars
Series #3: World Classic Cars
Series #4: World Ships
Series #5: World Jets
Series #6: World Motorcycles
Series #7: World Space Machines
Series #8: World Dream Cars
