Star Trek Deep Space Nine Series Premiere Trading Cards

When Star Trek Deep Space Nine came out it changed the face of Star Trek forever.

Previously in the earlier Trek TV series the future was always pictured as optimistic. 

Oh sure, there a few conflicts but all-in-all The Federation planets lived n peace and there was no poverty or want. 

Not so, with Deep Space Nine. There was always a crisis or danger from hostile aliens.

The station was run down and repairs had to be made almost on a daily basis. The constant threat of takeovers or troubles from the nearby region of space that opened to other quadrants were constant themes. 

Crew members didn’t always get along and neither did the command staff being it was comprised of different races.

Dirt and grime and poverty and crime painted a different picture of this Federation outpost.

In 1993 Skybox Trading Cards released 98 card Star Trek Deep Space Nine Series Premiere Trading Cards set featuring images from the series: characters, ships, locations, etc. 

All were printed on heavy-coated paper stock with gloss photos. 

On the back of the cards was information about the images on their fronts. 

Also a Certification Of Limited Edition, a Comment and Special Cards were included.

The cards came packaged in a small box with two pieces of Styrofoam inside to keep the cards protected.

It’s a nice set of cards of which I still have.
