It’s kind of funny how, despite being more than 30 years old, the Lost in Space TV show is remember more today than the reboot film that came along in 1998. But even if it is largely forgettable, it still got a solid set of cards. 1998 Inkworks Lost in Space Movie trading cards arrived just before delights like autographs and memorabilia took over a huge chunk of the hobby. But that doesn’t meant that they’re totally absent.
The base set has 90 cards. The movie itself might not be that special, but there are lots of familiar faces in the cast. Matt LeBlanc, Gary Oldman, Heather Graham and William Hurt are just a few. There’s nothing unique about the meat of the set. Most retells the film. Key characters are also featured on bio cards.
The top inserts in 1998 Inkworks Lost in Space Movie are three autographs. Lacey Chabert, Mimi Rogers and Jack Johnson are the signers. Sorry, no LeBlanc or Graham. All are inserted via redemption so there’s no chance of getting the actual autographs from packs anymore.
The product does look back to the franchise’s roots with the Double Feature inserts. Done with a prismatic card stock, the cards have an image of a film character paired with a counterpart comparison from the TV series. The set has nine cards with one landing every 11 packs. The cards were renumbered and use as a promo set at select K-Mart stores as a promo for the video release.
War of Robots (four cards, 1:24) looks at machines. The insert lineup is rounded out with Jupiter 2, a single-card set (1:108 packs) that uses a flashy foil design to show off the film’s spaceship.
