1997 Fleer/SkyBox Star Trek TOS Season 1 trading cards took the venerable franchise to a place no set had gone before. Not only does it offer a comprehensive breakdown of the groundbreaking inaugural season but it does so with autographs included in the mix.
This set has many layers to it. Individually, it’s all pretty standard stuff. But it can be put together a few different ways.
No matter how you look at it, the base set has 90 cards. Every episode has exactly three cards, no more and no less. It’s capped with three checklists.
But when you delve into the inserts, you start to see how thought out things are. Behind the Scenes and Character Log each have 58 cards — two cards per episode. The Gold Plaques and Profile insert sets have 29 cards each. Put these together with the base set and you have nine total cards for each episode. And nine cards is perfect for pages and a binder. So you can house the base set and inserts individually or you can mix them up and have a detailed look at each episode from various angles.
If autographs are your thing, 1997 Fleer/SkyBox Star Trek TOS Season 1 kicked off a long-running line that would go on to encompass a lot more than just this group of episodes. Combined to land one per box, autograph signers include some major Star Trek royalty including William Shatner, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols and George Takei. Beyond the original Bridge Crew, there’s Ricardo Montalban, Gary Lockwood, Joan Collins and several more. Understandably, these are some of the most value Star Trek autographs in the hobby.
For a franchise that’s one of the biggest in the history of trading cards, this line is definitely one of the strongest.
