Yes, it's nicely executed line art on very good quality newsprint perhaps even better than that used in the DC Archive hardcover books. The art is gaudy and gory and all around pleasing to the eye. Rather curiously, different artists are featured in each volume. John Hebert drew #1 and #4, Bruce Spaulding Fuller #2 and John Green #3.

Never seen those before, Hep. Pretty cool.
Here are a few of my 007 cards. I bought these back in the day.  :)

Hepcat posted some of the OL cards awhile back, but I thought it would interesting to crop some close-ups...

And they're still in really nice condition!

A number of years ago I swapped some 007 duplicates for some Outer Limits cards. I was intrigued because the OL cards didn't seem to have been distributed in my area when they were produced; otherwise I would have been all over 'em (!). I don't have a complete set of either, but a nice sampling.

I've only got a couple of these space cards...
The Mercury one is slightly off-register.
What's up with the "Life on Other Planets"? Are they ectoplasmic?

Here are more pictures of some of my cards from the fabled Topps "You'll Die Laughing" set from 1959 that featured Jack Davis artwork:

Topps in 1963 issued a set of 153 Monster Midgees. These were packaged as three card panels which measured out to  2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Here's a picture of one of these panels that I lifted off the net:



Topps then took 66 of these images and released them in the standard card size as the Monster Laffs set in cellophane wrappers in 1966-67.  Here are scans of some of the cards from my Monster Laffs set:





Since they were issued in cellophane wrappers, no proper wax wrapper exists.

Here are a couple of cards from my Leaf Spook Stories set featuring Godzilla:



Interesting that the second of these cards seems to be a shot from the "King Kong versus Godzilla" movie which was released in 1962. But these Spook Stories cards came out in 1961.
