Insert odds vary for each release. The odds of finding a "News Flashbacks 1960" insert are approximately 1:12 hobby/retail packs and 1:6 rack packs. The ten-card subset includes a diagram of the first weather satellite, TIROS-1.

Weather forecasting was revolutionized on April Fool's Day 1960, when the U.S. government launched the first weather satellite. TIROS-1, designed to test techniques for shooting television weather footage from the earth's orbit, left Cape Canaveral with two TV cameras and two tape recorders on board. Previously, weather monitoring was done from gauges aboard planes, balloons and ships.

The insert set includes a photograph of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. On September 8, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally dedicated the center, named in honor of Eisenhower’s wartime colleague.
