Points of Interest

State of the Hobby
Written by: Kevin Bennett of K & J Non-Sports Cards

The first few months of 2002 have been steady, largely due to a lack of product since the beginning of the year. The release schedule for the remainder of the year will definitely make up for any lack of product up to now. This should make the market as a whole become much more active. Autographs and costume cards are driving the market.  more information


From The Archives
Star Trek 1991 by Lynne Stewart

Although several Star Trek card sets were produced in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, most people would point to the 1991 Impel set as the beginning of their Star Trek card collection. This 310-card set was released as part of the large 25th Anniversary of Star Trek celebrated that year, and featured cards covering the characters, actors, technology, episodes and memorabilia.    more information
