Main Details
Description
Ever since Star Trek first aired on television in 1966, the series has had a strong influence on pop culture. In 1976, due to the show's rising popularity in syndication, Topps released a series of collectible trading cards featuring full-color images from the classic television series created by Gene Roddenberry, as well as synopses and information on the cast and crew of the Starship Enterprise. This first-ever compilation includes the fronts and backs of all 88 cards and 22 rare and hard-to-find stickers (which were originally sold one per pack), as well as text and commentary by Star Trek insiders Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann-guaranteed to please the die-hard Trekkie as well as a whole new generation of fans. Praise for Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series "If you're like me, most of those cards are long gone by now, so I've loved the hardcover books devoted to the company's various product lines." -USA Today's Pop Candy blog
