Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary Card #63 - Submarine Voyage THEN-Tomorrowland Black Foil Parallel Magic

Hey there, fellow Disney collectors and Disneyland magic keepers! ✨

Today I\u0027m absolutely thrilled to share one of my newest treasures from the 2025 Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary collection - Card #63 featuring the legendary Submarine Voyage in a stunning Black Foil parallel. This beauty captures the THEN era of Tomorrowland, and let me tell you, it\u0027s pure nostalgic magic wrapped in sleek, sophisticated shimmer.

A Dive into Tomorrowland History

The Submarine Voyage was one of those classic Disneyland attractions that defined what Tomorrowland was all about in its early days. This card celebrates the THEN version - before it became the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage we know today. I remember learning about the original yellow submarines and how guests would descend into an underwater world filled with mermaids, sea serpents, and all sorts of aquatic wonders. It was pure 1950s and 60s imagination at its finest!

What makes this card extra special is that it\u0027s part of the THEN & NOW theme within the Disneyland 70th Anniversary set. Topps did such an incredible job documenting the evolution of the park\u0027s most beloved attractions, and the Submarine Voyage perfectly represents that mid-century modern Tomorrowland aesthetic that I absolutely adore.

The Black Foil Parallel Perfection

Now let\u0027s talk about what makes THIS specific version a must-have: the Black Foil parallel treatment. While the base version of Card #63 is lovely, this Black Foil parallel takes it to another level entirely. The dark, mysterious foil creates this incredible contrast that makes the submarine imagery pop off the card. It\u0027s sleek, it\u0027s dramatic, and it captures that deep-sea diving vibe perfectly.

The foil catches the light in the most mesmerizing way - one angle and you see the deep blacks and shadows, shift it slightly and suddenly the whole card shimmers like you\u0027re watching light filter through ocean water. I find myself just tilting it back and forth sometimes, watching the way the Black Foil brings depth and dimension to the vintage Tomorrowland scene.

As part of the Parallel Sets within the Disneyland 70th Anniversary release, the Black Foil variants are significantly more scarce than the base cards. Topps produced multiple parallel versions across the set - including Red Foil, Orange Foil, Gold Foil, and the ultra-rare Hidden Mickey variants - but there\u0027s something about the Black Foil that just speaks to me. It feels timeless and classic, much like the attraction itself.

Dive deep into the memories of yesterday\u0027s tomorrows, where submarines sailed through imaginary seas and every voyage was an adventure into the unknown.

Collecting the THEN & NOW Journey

This card is part of a larger THEN & NOW subset that spans Cards #1 through #82 in the Disneyland 70th Anniversary checklist. If you\u0027re building this subset, you\u0027ll want to track down both the THEN and NOW versions of Tomorrowland\u0027s iconic attractions. Card #63 shows the original Submarine Voyage, while Card #64 features the current Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. Together, they tell the complete story of this beloved attraction\u0027s evolution.

For those of us who use the Collectiblz app to track our collections, I\u0027ve got this beauty marked as HAVE - I actually snagged it in a recent hobby box break and nearly squealed when I pulled it! If you\u0027re chasing the Black Foil parallels for the THEN & NOW subset, I highly recommend using Collectiblz to keep track of which cards you still need. The app makes it so easy to see your completion progress and identify those last few gaps in your collection.

Display and Storage Ideas

Because of the special Black Foil treatment, I\u0027d definitely recommend storing this card in a protective one-touch magnetic holder or even getting it graded if you\u0027re lucky enough to pull one in pristine condition. The foil can be susceptible to scratching, so you want to keep it safe while still being able to admire that gorgeous shine.

I keep mine in a premium display case alongside my other Disneyland 70th Anniversary Black Foil hits. When you group them together, they create this stunning visual collection that really showcases the different lands and eras of the park. The darker aesthetic of the Black Foil parallels gives them a sophisticated, gallery-like quality that looks amazing whether you\u0027re displaying them in your office, game room, or dedicated Disney collecting space.

Final Thoughts

The Topps Disneyland 70th Anniversary Card #63 Submarine Voyage Black Foil Parallel is a perfect blend of nostalgia, artistry, and scarcity. It celebrates one of Tomorrowland\u0027s most iconic original attractions while delivering that premium parallel card experience that serious Disney collectors crave.

Whether you\u0027re a Tomorrowland enthusiast, a parallel chaser, or someone building the complete THEN & NOW subset, this card deserves a spot in your collection. And if you haven\u0027t started tracking your Disneyland 70th Anniversary cards in the Collectiblz app yet, now\u0027s the perfect time to dive in and start marking your HAVE and NEED cards!
