Star Trek Trading Cards Appraisal

Star Trek: Insurrection Movie Trading Cards Fleer SkyBox Factory Sealed Booster Box

The item is a factory-sealed box of 'Star Trek: Insurrection Movie Trading Cards,' produced by Fleer SkyBox, as indicated by the 'Fleer SkyBox' logo visible on the top right. This is a booster box, designed to contain multiple packs of trading cards from the 1998 film 'Star Trek: Insurrection.' The packaging is made of cardboard, with a glossy printed surface, and it is entirely encased in its original shrink-wrap. The primary colors of the box are dark, likely black or deep grey, with gold and red accents. The title 'STAR TREK INSURRECTION' is prominently displayed in large lettering across the top half of the box. Below this, 'MOVIE TRADING CARDS' is printed. Notable features include imagery of two key characters from the film, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (played by Patrick Stewart) and Commander William T. Riker (played by Jonathan Frakes), both in their Starfleet uniforms, on the front cover. A significant marketing point highlighted on the packaging is 'AUTOGRAPHED CARD GUARANTEED IN EVERY BOX!' (though the OCR reads 'AUTOGRAQUEO', it's clearly 'AUTOGRAPHED' based on context and common industry practice), indicating the inclusion of a rare signed card. Other golden text and patterns on the box appear to denote 'EXCLUSIVE' content or features. The shrink-wrap shows some visible tears and minor wear, particularly around the top edges and corners, suggesting some handling or age. Despite the tears, the box itself appears to be largely intact and the overall condition of the packaging underneath the wrap seems good, with no overt damage visible on the printed surface. The box is rectangular, typical of trading card booster boxes, and appears to be of standard size for such collectibles from the late 1990s. The estimated age is late 1990s, specifically 1998, coinciding with the release of the 'Star Trek: Insurrection' movie.
