There was a very lonely fellow at the con selling trading cards. Needless to say, I perused his selection with some interest and eagerly snapped up a pack of these:
You may recall I watched the entire series over the summer, enjoying it quite a bit. The card set is from the 1979 film, and I recall buying many packs in my youth, treasuring the cards depicting space battles!
Here’s a shot of the back, so you can marvel at the date and the fact the pack remains wax-sealed after 34 years:
An ‘unboxing’ shot of the freshly opened pack:
Here’s the stick of gum. I took a bite, which was a bad idea. Don’t eat gum more than 30 years old!
The best card in the pack, front and back:
I also got a sticker!
And some of my beloved-as-a-kid space battles:
Overall, a great pack with a good selection of cards. Here’s the full selection, and if you need any of these to complete your collection just let me know 🙂
You may wonder what I do with these cards after I open them? Well…
No, thanks. I’ve just put one out.
When I visit I’m going to stick Gil Gerard on your fridge!
