In the 1980-90’s, Cinema International Corporation (CIC) was the licensed distributor of Star Trek home video in the UK, Germany, Australia, and other countries. In 1996, they created a promotion where playing cards were included with specially-marked Star Trek videos. If you bought all of the videos, you would be able to assemble a complete deck. As part of the promotion, you could order a personalized round tin (made to look like a movie reel tin) to hold the cards. Two years later, in 1998, CIC continued the promotion in Germany by offering complete decks of the cards. The cards show a starship on each of the aces, and characters from the show on the face cards. The Jokers are an Alpha 177 Canine and a Tribble. The deck itself can be difficult to find, but the rarest object is the personalized tin.
