Base Set<\/h3>\n

Released in 1997, this 82 card set was the beginning of changes in the format for ST cards. Rather than an episode format, they offered a Profiles format with in depth looks at the main characters, each with their own 9-card subset.<\/p>\n

        FERENGI RULE OF <\/small>ACQUISITION<\/small> #58: THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SUCCESS! <\/small><\/h3>\n

        Fleer\/SkyBox Announces Star Trek: Deep Space Nine\u00ae\u2122 Profiles Trading Cards<\/small><\/h3>\n

        MT. LAUREL, NJ, APR. 3, 1997– Fleer\/SkyBox announces the return of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine\u00ae\u2122 to trading cards for the first time since 1994 under the all-new Profiles brand. <\/span><\/p>\n

        Paramount Television’s Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/i> debuted in January 1993 as the highest rated series premiere in syndication history and has remained the number one syndicated drama series, consistently rated higher than all other syndicated drama series. SkyBox released two successful card series based on the new series in 1993 and 1994.<\/p>\n

        Under the new Profiles brand, Fleer\/SkyBox will be introducing the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/i> trading cards in June of 1997, under license from Viacom Consumer Products.<\/p>\n

        The series will include 81 regular cards that provide an intimate look at each of the show’s nine major characters. Each character will be featured in a nine-card subset, with digitally transferred images, in-depth informaiton, and creative design graphics. The card series will also include three levels of incredible bonus cards–enough to make a Ferengi sweat. Nine Quark’s Bar Cards will feature commentary from everyone’s favorite Ferengi and the action at this famed watering hole (1:3). In addition, nine Trials and Tribble-Ations Cards combine Deep Space Nine<\/i> with the original Star Trek<\/i> episodes (1:6). Finally, nine Latinum Profiles Cards commemorate the nine main characters in a fully embossed, foil-etched presentation (1:12).<\/p>\n

        As an added bonus, three special bonus cards have been created and signed by Armin Shimerman (Quark), Terry Farrell (Dax), and Rene Auberjonois (Odo) (1:216) for random insertion in packs of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/i> Profiles trading cards.<\/p>\n

        Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/i> Profiles Trading Cards will be available in 8-card packs with a suggested retail price of $ 1.49. Viacom Consumer Products merchandises properties on behalf of Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television and Simon & Schuster as well as third-party properties. Viacom Cosuumer Products, a unit of Viacom Entertainment Group, is a subsidiary of Viacom Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
