Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series
<div> </div> Ever since <i>Star Trek </i>first aired on television in 1966, the series has had a strong influence on pop culture. In 1976, due to the show’s rising popularity in syndication, Topps released a series of collectible trading cards featuring full-color images from the classic television series created by Gene Roddenberry, as well as synopses and information on the cast and crew of the <i>Starship Enterprise</i>. This first-ever compilation includes the fronts and backs of all 88 cards and 22 rare and hard-to-find stickers (which were originally sold one per pack), as well as text and commentary by <i>Star Trek </i>insiders Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann―guaranteed to please the die-hard Trekkie as well as a whole new generation of fans.<br> <br> Praise for <i>Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series</i><br> <br> “If you're like me, most of those cards are long gone by now, so I’ve loved the hardcover books devoted to the company's various product lines.†―<i>USA Today</i>’s<i> Pop Candy </i>blog<br> <!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-->  <br>
