Do you agree with all the choices for the characters? Are some less Villains and more Hero?
Inserts
- A parallel set of 100 cards was also found in packs. It had a throw-back style from the 70’s with a more matte finish.
- Sadly, the tribute card set continues as we lose more and more guest stars through the years. This set features stars lost from Season 3.
- 9 Kirk’s Epic Battles are shown on this foiled insert set.
- A 9-card Mirror/Mirror insert set features a layout similar to the DS9 Alternate Realities insert set and is a cheaper alternative to the popular TOS II MIrror set!
- A new card set for Trek was the Shadowbox cards, a thick plastic layered card for each of the main cast. These cards don’t easily slide into 9-card pocket pages.
- A box contained one dual autograph card and one single autograph card. The most coveted card of the set was the Shatner/Collins card, though the hardest to acquire was the dual card of the Shatner girls. The dual format allowed for some really great pairings of guest stars.
Autograph Variations
- The Napier/Downey autograph card has a one-line and two-line variation.
- A small number of the Brioni Farrell cards were signed with an “AKA: Xenia Gratsos” inscription.
