1979 Topps Star Trek: The Motion Picture Card # 72 On Spock's Native World (EX)

1979 Topps Star Trek: The Motion Picture trading cards capture the franchise's first big screen adventure with a set that's filled with classic characters and a whole bunch of strange aliens that would give any frat house Halloween party a run for its money.

The product has a total of 88 cards and 22 stickers. The base set is a mix of shots from the film as well as publicity stills. The Bridge Crew, back and looking a little bit older than when they were last seen on the show a decade earlier, make up a good chunk of the checklist. However, there are also sizable chunks dedicated to near characters and spaceships. It's these posed cards that give the set a lot of its flavor.

Card fronts take a bit of a different approach over other sets from the era. Borders are white. Images have a solid-colored frame with an icon of the U.S.S. Enterprise soaring along the bottom. Rather than a large caption along the bottom, which is traditional with a lot of set, it's done with much smaller font along the top corner of the frame.

Backs are a mix of puzzle pieces and write-ups. Text features actor bios, story summaries, character descriptions and quotes.

Every pack of 1979 Topps Star Trek: The Motion Picture has one sticker. These have two different designs, both of which are done with purple borders. The first is a very tradition Topps sticker look. Character portraits are die-cut and given a thick outline. The second design sets the image inside a shape that looks like an overhead look of the Enterprise.
