For a time in the 1990s, it seemed like just about any TV show or movie that looked like it would be a moderate hit was legitimized with a set of trading cards. Case in point, 1993 SkyBox SeaQuest DSV. Although the show looked to tap into some of the success of Star Trek: The Next Generation, only underwater, it never fully caught its sea legs.
The ensuing set is a product of its time, meaning nothing complicated or overly valuable.
The 1993 SkyBox SeaQuest DSV base set has 100 cards. It covers the characters, the SeaQuest ship, episode recaps and some behind-the-scenes action. If you’re looking for something all-encompassing, this isn’t the set. Released before the first season even completed, the checklist only covers about half of the initial shows. This was the only set of trading cards for the show as well, so the remaining three-and-a-half seasons never got a chance on cardboard.
The only inserts in 1993 SkyBox SeaQuest DSV are four foil cards. These are inserted 1:20 packs, so almost two per box.
In case you were curious about rarity, 20,180 boxes were produced.
