Base Set<\/h3>\n

Following the style of earlier movie sets, the First Contact card set was a 60 card set in a widevision format. The common card set featured images and summaries from the movie and the box was a cube-shaped box, with instructions on how to turn it into a hanging mobile. This card set is one of the first Steve Charendoff had been involved in at least peripherally.<\/p>\n

Inserts<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The Enterprise set, a chance to take a peek at different areas of the ship<\/li>\n
  • The character set, which featured each of the main crew members in spectra foil.<\/li>\n
  • The BTS subset allowed a fun peek at some behind the scene shots.<\/li>\n
  • The Borg subset featured cels; see through background cards featuring the Borg.<\/li>\n
  • A\u00a0set of three foldout images of the three main ships\u2026.Borg Cube, Enterprise-E and the Phoenix.<\/li>\n
  • A\u00a0limited to 200 autographed card of Brent Spiner. This card caused quite a furor at the time, those that pulled it shrieked with joy, those who had to pay for it (when they found it) shrieked in pain at the cost.\u00a0200 cards were all that SkyBox could \u201cafford\u201d to contract with Brent Spiner. With cards left out for promotional purposes and damaged replacements, the actual number in packs is actually less than 200 and closer to 180.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Promos<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • This set did not have a promo card though some consider card #291 from the Phase Three set to be one. This card is really a promo for the movie, not the set, however and is readily available as a part of the common set. There was also an image of a promo card on sell sheets sent to dealers, but this card was designed only and never produced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Misc. Items<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Binder<\/li>\n
      • Sell Sheet-image of promo card<\/li>\n
      • A smaller box version, with 18 packs, was found at Blockbuster videos<\/li>\n
      • Official Star Trek Fan Club Card<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
