1997 Topps X-Files Showcase trading cards aimed to take a bigger look at the show’s first season. That “bigger” comes in a couple of forms. First, it offers a more in-depth look at select season one shows. Second, the cards are actually bigger, done in an over-sized tall boy format.
The 72 card base set focuses on just six episodes. That’s 12 cards per show. Every card has multiple images and a lengthy write up.
1997 Topps X-Files Showcase has a pair of six-card inserts: X-Effect and Laser.
Although the approach for the set is different and somewhat ambitious, it appears that it didn’t have broad enough appeal to continue. This is the only set in the Showcase line.
