Help identifying 1960s French Candy set

Anyone know what this set might be registered under on PSA/SGC?

I do not believe that anyone has graded anything from that set with PSA as of yet. Likely as it is a very inexpensive set so grading is not a priority and is meant to be in the album. Full sets of 150 are unlikely to break 20 bucks in actual completed sales.

It’s a 1960 set made by Coop Chocolate called Interplanetary Voyages.

eBay France usually has them for far less than a dollar each in lots -

This is two full albums, but the correct album for this set would be the lower one in the photo -

Here’s some info from a cut and paste -

This cooperative enterprise has published several didactic albums composed of drawn images, such as Races, Costumes, Types (circa 1935, 144 images), The Conquest of Space, Interplanetary Voyages (1960, 150 images) or The Work of Men (1964, 160 images) – the latter ends on a page summarizing the manufacture of chocolate bars at Coop. This was followed by Uncle Tom's Cabin based on Beecher Stowe (150 images) and The Benefactors of Humanity. She exchanged the images that the collector had in duplicate (one against three returned).
For its part, Coop chocolate from SGC Micheroux, produced in Belgium, published two albums of images devoted to Tarzan. Each of them brings together 100 small photographs taken from his adventures brought to the screen.
