STAR TREK 1967 LEAF THE ORIGINAL SERIES VINTAGE #41 TRAPPED FAIR

Description: THIS IS A 1967 LEAF STAR TREK VINTAGE SINGLE TRADING CARD. MOST OF THESE CARD'S CONDITION WILL VARY GREATLY FROM POOR TO VERY GOOD CONDITION. YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THE IMAGES TO DECIDE WHETHER THE CONDITION MEETS YOUR STANDARD AND I WILL NOT GIVE MY ASSESSMENT AS TO WHAT THE CARDS WILL GRADE AT. THESE ARE RAW CARDS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDLED. HERE ARE SOME DETAILS ABOUT THIS SET:This is the first of all Star Trek card sets that was issued by the Leaf Brands Division, W R Grace and Co. in 1967. It is considered quite rare; a regional distribution area of Ohio and Illinois (the company was based in Chicago) and licensing issues that are believed to have forced a recall combined to limit the availability of the set. Consisting of 72 cards, the Leaf set is recognizable for black and white card fronts and extremely original show synopses on the back. Some of the cards contain text that describes the episode pictured on the card front in a reasonably accurate way, but a vast majority of the cards have completely unrelated text and photos, and most of the text was obviously created without any knowledge of the television series or the characters involved. It may have been that way to avoid copyright problems. Neither Paramount nor Leaf have any records of the set’s creation. Gum stains affected the cards next to the gum. Other cards got stains from the wax from the wrapper. There have been some reprint sets created over the years. The cards I have listed here are the originals and these are the known differences: The Original has a layered look: white/gray/white when viewed from the side. The 1981 US reprint set has the back printed in B&W and a second set which has a light pink tone to the back. The European set and the US set have a red border around the text and the picture on the back has a red, almost maroon tint to it. The US reprint has a 1981 copyright and says reprint. The Leaf and the Reprint are the same size. The European cards are slightly smaller. The image on the European cards are cropped, slightly less of the image (around the edges) is present. The images and text are much clearer on the US Leaf set than the others. The Original Leaf set has more of a gloss finish compared to the European set that has a satin type finish and the Reprint set that is like the European set.
