Star Trek - Metal Cards

Metallic Impressions created a series of trading card sized metal cards. The first was a promo card released at Huntsville in September 1996. The card showed the U.S.S. Enterprise and was limited to 15,000, Only 5,000 were brought to Huntsville, the remainder didn’t sell and were repackaged with Metallic Impressions mugs and steins. There were three tin sets. The first two were released in 1996. One was a 6-card "Crew of the Enterprise" tin, the second was a 20-card episode set featuring first, last and favourite episodes and crew. This tin set was limited to 12,000. The third tin set, released in 1997, was the first of what was to be a Distinguished Officers Set featuring James T. Kirk. The planned future series were never made.
