Ever since Star Trek 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 Starship Enterprise. 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 Star Trek insiders Paula M. Block and
Terry J. Erdmann--guaranteed to please the die-hard Trekkie as well as a
whole new generation of fans.

"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." --USA Today's Pop Candy blog
